Re: [ECOS] eCos and C++

[Ilan Finci <ifinci at myrealbox dot com>]

What I meant in developing C++ application, is not to use the eCos C++ 
API, but ISO C++ code: iostream ....

for example: can I compile and run the following code:

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
  std::cout << "Hello World" << std::endl;
  return 0;
}


Thanks,
Ilan
