Until then, its time to start considering getting the kernel's
code buildable by g++ a little at a time.
No thanks, take simple normal C code and compile it both as C and then
as C++. Look at the assembler, the C++ compiler gives me lots of code
I didn't ask for. This is why we stopped compiling the kernel with
g++ in the first place.
Secondarily, we have enough problems dealing with gcc bugs just with
the C language, you open up a new pandora's box when we begin having
to deal with c++ front end bugs as well.
The day the Linux kernel starts to go c++ is when I stop working
on it. With C I can see the cycles I get as I code, with c++ there is
no chance.
