Magically this always ends up in long discussions about how applicable
C++ is the the kernel as such which was not the original intent.

So following the original intent it does not matter what subset is
sanely used, only what adaptions is needed to kernel proper to support
modules written in C++.


Here at last is a sane response. If the kernel were enhanced/bastardized (pick one) to support C++ modules, we could evaluate how C++ actually does in terms of runtime and developer performance.

But I have seen no patches this time either, so required modifications
are yet to be identified.

Since such patches are sure to be rejected (apparently renaming 'struct class' would wreak havoc on the development process), I doubt that they will appear. Not to mention the attacks on the submitters that would follow.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
