SpyBiWire is fully supported. The only thing we have not done to

support the MSP430X instruction set.
C++ support would be nice.
IAR supports C++, and I've never seen a single person using it. This
makes me reluctant to put effort into C++ for MSPGCC. People have built
C++ support for MSPGCC, but it would take some work for complete support.

I support this position. My colleagues and I do not use C++ in embedded
applications because of the bloat that it creates, and its dependence on
dynamic memory (slow and also dangerous). Some people say C# might be
a compromise for embedded applications but I still think it's a waste of
resources (and also too M$ for me).
