C++ for embedded

[Angelo Fraietta]

Thinking about it some more, you don't even need to use a constructor at 
all! You can just typecast a pointer to the ROM location as a pointer to 
the the class object. I did this a couple of years ago on a project 
where a non-volatile database had to be rebuilt upon startup in NVRAM. 
The concept is the same -- you just make a pointer to that memory 
location and acces it as a pointer to that class from then on.
