A major issue is existing tools. Using C++ would prevent us from using sparce for static code checking. We should be adding more annotations instead of throwing existing ones out. ctags is also broken with C++ which will make it much harder for me to browse the codebase. C++ support in gdb has some limitations if you use overloading, exceptions, templates. The example posted here uses two of these, so it would be harder to debug. I also hoped we'll be able to adopt checkpatch at some point for coding style enforcement, C++ syntax is just too complex for a perl script to be of any use. -- MST -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
