This isn't an extension, it's standard. There's a reason why C++ doesn't support that (yet): C++ is a fork of C90 (IIRC), so everything that evolved in C during the years is still missing from C++. > > Anyway, it should all be doable.

You can do with your code whatever you want to:) I think it's just a matter of practice: If C++ code shows up that is less error-prone than C code, doesn't use unverifyable amounts of stack space during constructor runs and is basically _superior_ to C code, that'll find its way into the kernel. But if it's only as good as the C code, then why should anybody bother implementing the neccessary stuff to link C++ code (and to initialize it properly?)
