Hey,
I was wondering if I can write C++ code for the NRF9160:
- Does the NRF9160 DK support C++?
- Is SEGGER IDE compatible with it?
- Is it recommended to use C++ in it?
Thanks in advance!

- The DK is a board. You can program it with any language you want as long as there is a compiler supporting the Cortex-M33. C, C++, Python, etc...
- The Segger IDE does not properly supports C++. Although it uses GCC, it stripped out most C++ support of GCC.
- C++ or not is a matter of tastes. I use C++ mainly in any embedded project. There are a lot of advantage to it. You can use C++ without real object design as most people do. Arduino, mBed are all C++. C++ is not slower than C as many lead to believe. It is the same performance. Performance is directly related the coder himself.
C is a subset of C++. Sample compiler for both. Any well written C code are always and must be 100% compatible with C++. If not, it is considered bad coding.
