Well, they are not handled by the preprocessor (that's the part of the
compiler that handles #include and such), but I agree that they should
not add overhead provided they are properly done.  They are somewhat
like C++'s replacement for traditional macros.

It's just that many embedded programmers (me included) are probably
much more familiar with C than C++.

The era when C++ could be implemented by a simple preprocessing into C
code has IMHO long since passed.
