Message-ID: <33585385.C8D@lmtas.lmco.com> (raw)
Consider a waiver request to use C++ in a Digital Signal Processing
application. The waiver is based essentially on these arguments:
* DSP engineers would rather program in C++ than Ada, since it
makes them more valuable in the larger commericial marker. As a
result, there is much higher attrition when DSP engineers are
required to program in Ada, and so the development cost is higher.
* Most DSP tools are for C/C++. The number of DSP tools for Ada
will shrink, given that the DoD has decided not to mandate Ada
anymore.
* Most existing DSP code is in C/C++. Therefore, reuse is easier
if the new code is also written in C++.
Anyone have a reason to think this waiver shouldn't be approved?
