Recommended compiler? - Re: [patch] kernel/module.c (plus gratuitous rant)

2000-10-30 Thread Linux Kernel Developer
So which is the recommended compiler for each kernel version 2.2.x, 2.4.x(pre?) nowadays? I've pretty much kept gcc 2.7.2.3 around just for compiling the kernel however now I hear you need egcs to compile 2.4? I don't mind keeping 2.7.2.3 around in its own installation directory just for the pur

2000-10-30 Thread Linux Kernel Developer
Hi all, After a delay on some other project I've again started up the process of fixing up the Linux headers, i.e. removing the use of C++ keywords as variable and stuff. I have questions on the use of three datastructures which happen to use the C++ keyword new but first a couple of things.

Linux C++ safe header project

2000-10-24 Thread Linux Kernel Developer
Hi all, I'm looking through the suggestions and stuff that I have gotten so far. As for the extern "C" stuff I'm torn between fixing the headers internally or making side-by-side header files for C++ users. Such as: a.h exists. So I create a a.hpp which contains somthing like the following

Possible C++ safe header project - Re: [Criticism] On the discussion about C++ modules

OK I've decided to give this a shot, IF there is sufficient interest out there for C++ safe headers. So all you coders out there who have tried and failed or who wish to program kernel modules in C++ join in and help out by listing the errors you have encountered with the current header setup

Re: [Criticism] On the discussion about C++ modules

2000-10-22 Thread Linux Kernel Developer
Wasn't the original complaint that the kernel headers use C++ keyword and thus prevent the writing of, at least some, modules in C++. I have written C++ code before that was as least as fast as comparable C code and more efficient in some ways. Whether this could be or not be reproduced in k

Why no HPT370 RAID Support?

2000-10-16 Thread Linux Kernel Developer
Hi, I was just wondering if there was some reason why the HPT370's RAID capabilities weren't supported in the enhanced IDE patch for 2.2.*? Or if support for its RAID capabilities were being worked on. I noticed FreeBSD also appears to fail to support its RAID features so I am partially in

Question on HighPoint HPT370 support

2000-10-15 Thread Linux Kernel Developer
Hi, I was wondering if support for the HPT370 RAID capabilities is planned? I found that with the IDE patch from Hedrick I was able to get regular EIDE device support for this controller however I was hoping to use its RAID capabilities. Is work on this being done? Thanks for any help. - T
