I am familiar with C++ but to the best of my knowledge the kernel is
written in C. I found this in Wikipedia :
"Many other languages are used in some way, primarily in connection with
the kernel build process (the methods whereby the bootable image is
created from the sources). These include Perl, Python, and various shell
scripting languages. Some drivers may also be written in C++, Fortran,
or other languages, but this is strongly discouraged. Linux's build
system only officially supports GCC as a kernel and driver compiler."
I just want to be sure i am proceeding in the proper direction. Would I
be better served by forgetting everything I know about C++ and
learning C? All advice and opinions, of any kind, are welcome.
