Yes you would certainly gain some features that were not present in C.
Whether it made sense to use a crippled C++ in this way is a much more
debatable issue. In my experience you should either take it all or
leave it. If you start telling developers that "We're using C++ but we
don't use X, Y, Z", you are constraining the number of paradigms that
they are used to working in. Further you are now creating a
non-standard language that looks like C++ but isn't. The possibility
would then be open for subsequent maintenance or post design
programmers to start using forbidden features out of ignorance. This
obviously increases the possibility of errors in the code, especially
when the forbidden features are forbidden for 'subtle' reasons.

My biggest problem with dynamic memory allocation in embedded systems
is the fact that an indeterminate allocation mechanism exists!
If dynamic memory allocation is used the resulting program is
non-deterministic in the sense that it is impossible to guarantee that
there is enough memory resource to complete execution of the program
(under all paths for the program). C++ allocates memory for new
objects. New objects in C++ can be allocated as temporary objects
(i.e. out of the immediate awareness of the code writer). If I do not
have a hard disk or operating system in my embedded PC, how can I
write a C++ program, (where it is the compiler in cohorts with the OS
that allocates memory for objects) and know that my program will
execute without exhausting resources.

Besides which, the use of dynamic memory allocation seems to insipre a
kind of lazy attitude on software developers.I have seen serial port
processing routines that just increase their buffer sizes when they
fall behind in processing characters (and this in systems where the
processing of the characters is the core task!)

Granted that a large number of "real time" problems can be solved with
fast embedded PCs, but many of them could equally well (or better) be
solved with a microprocessor some RAM and an EPROM / FLASH program
store. When a programmer is faced with limited RAM, the unnecessary
use of dynamic memory allocation is a hinderance. Further, if the use
of dynamic memory allocation is prevented, the resulting code must be
written in a way such that memory resource requirments can be
calculated from examination of the source code and map file.

My statement here rests upon the interpretation of 'subset'. I think a
perfectly good mathematical definition exists. Using that definition C
is not a subset of C++. I grant however that any C program that does
not compile under C++ is probably weak ;-)
