Re: Safety-Critical Systems Developed Using C++

Well, this is not always an attractive solution if the processor you are
targeting has a nice, slick, well integrated development kit that uses C. The
argument quickly becomes "Then why not just do it in C instead of adding an extra
step?" One can argue for the safety features, etc, of doing it in Ada, then
running the C into the development kit, but its a really hard sell to make.
