Can you name any reasons for why should we support C++ in the kernel?
Why shouldn't we invest the effort to making it possible to write kernel
modules in Haskell instead?
The kernel is written in C and its maintainers have so far agreed that
C is enough and adding any other language brings more pain than gain.
If you think otherwise, feel free to submit some real code which shows
the advantages of using a different language.
Have a nice fortnight
C++ in the kernel is a BAD IDEA. C++ code can be written in such a
convoluted manner as to be unmaintainable and unreadable.
All of the hidden memory allocations from constructor/destructor
operatings can and do KILL OS PERFORMANCE. Java
is a great example as to why kernel OS code should NEVER be allowed in C++.
C and C++ really show their origins when used in kernel level
programming. So what were C and C++ originally -- they were grades. :-)
I applaud the LKML folks pushing back on C++.
A++.
