hi,
This may be a foolish question, but is it possible to write a kernel modules
in C++.
Why C is used to code the linux kernel instead of C++ .Many
part of the Linux kernel are object oriented in nature. Why trying to make objects
using C? Or is it just because of historic reasons.
Thanking you in advance.
regards
san
This has been discussed serveral times in the LKML, you have the answer here:

However, I know about a driver written partialy in C++:
The echoaudio cards alsa driver uses a patched version of the Generic OS-Independent provided by the manufacturer, which is coded in C++.
I have a Darla24 card, which is supported by the driver, and turst me, it works just great.
