If somebody were to write a completely new TCP/IP stack for eCos then C++ would be a reasonable choice of language - or rather a subset of the language, some parts such as exception handling involve rather major code size overheads which are usually unacceptable in embedded systems. In practice I am not sure there is much justification for writing yet another TCP/IP stack, there are plenty of them out there already. Bart Veer // eCos net maintainer
