Once upon a time, there was talk of converting some parts of Mesa to C++. This was killed for a number of reasons, and these fell into basically two categories:
1. C++ would make the drivers worse. 2. Linking with C++ libraries causes problems with applications. So far, a fair portion of my GLSL compiler work has been re-creating a C++-like object heirarchy and management system. Frankly, the code would be much better (for all definitions of better) if I could just use C++. Has issue #2 been resolved? I recall that, for example, if ID's Quake3 binary dynamically linked with a library that dynamically linked with a different version of libstdc++, it would explode. Is that still the case? If this is still a problem, will it affect LLVM usage in Mesa?
