Moncreaff" To: "hackers@freebsd.org" Subject: C++ Code in Kernel Date: Fri, 28 Mar 1997 18:10:51 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk maybe its just that I'm taking a c++ class now, but I'm cusious as to the pro's and con's on writing kernel source in c++. I haven't seen nor heard on this happening on FreeBSD [but then my travels haven't been that wide] I assume that new and delete would have to be overloaded, and that there would have to be some magic with respect to normal c calling c++ code [name mangling] Has this come up before? - g
