Classes and/or inheritance

[rackley]

I know that PICs are fairly simple 8-bit devices, but with the advent of the 16-bit PIC line and now the 32-bit PIC line, I don't think that a request for classes (and eventually inheritance) is unreasonable. I know you guys are swamped over there, but they shouldn't be terribly hard to implement since you already have structs done. It's a HUGE help with programming to be able to use classes...

I would think that if any of the languages were going to get that, C would first. That would make it into a kinda sorta C++. Maybe they could call it C+.

I have a lot of code, relatively speaking (~60k worth) to port over from 8-bit to 16-bit starting in the next few months. If MikroC were the one to get classes first, I'd port everything from MB to MC, that's how much I'd prefer to have classes. Especially with the much larger code sizes and capabilities of these new chips, classes would help a lot to keep things organized/efficient.
