Paul Bendixen - Hands on with freestanding hacking emBO - emBO++ 2024

In this talk we will be visited by three ghosts: The ghost of emBO++ past, the ghost of emBO++ present and the ghost of emBO++ yet to come. Let us hope we like what we see or at least it is not too late to change.
The first ghost will take us back to 2018, where the vision was presented for the freestancing proposal, a single unified proposal to get all the
things into the standard that can be used in bare metal and kernel work.
The second ghost will show us how long we have come, what has made it through to C++23 and the change in direction. We will take a look at
what is actually possible with the standard today and what work is being done.
The third ghost will show us what is coming in the future. Both in terms of proposals, but also with an experimental fork of GCC, that incorporates the coming changes
