I can't find any in /usr/src/sys by any of the usual suffixes. Whatever would you want to do that for, anyway? That would bring a whole extra language runtime support library into the kernel, and complicate the boot process with constructors and what-not. Seems like a backwards step, to me. Not that this should stop you from de-keywording the include files, if that takes your fancy, but permuting a variable "class" into "clazz" is a bit gruesome, imo. Why not just comment the argument name out altogether? It's not strictly needed in the prototype. Cheers, Andrewhelp
