I completely agree with Ron (Ron, don't say that I in some cases do not agree with you ;-] ).
My ad-hoc very rough estimations will be that you'll shrink around 30/40% of code, but introducing two (virtual) levels of abstraction with (about) three levels of inheritance for real classes will slow down boot time for at least 30%. Not to mention effort to do this. Not even worth thinking... The rule of thumb is that system SW is written in low level languages (ASM, C). Let us leave C++ to application guys. ;-) Zoran On Sat, Jan 28, 2017 at 5:59 PM, ron minnich <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Sat, Jan 28, 2017 at 6:14 AM Philipp Stanner <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Could coreboot (or parts of it) be written in C++? >> > > I hope not. > > >> >> What would be the advantages and disadvantages? >> >> > > I can't think of a single one, and I see a lot of C++. > > Note that there are parts of coreboot written in Ada.
