A bit polemic: can't we use Java then and rely on a highly optimized (micro) JVM? > Maybe the question here is if we should concentrate on gcc and clang and > keep "weird, esoteric, proprietary compilers that someone might use someday > in an not-yet-thought-of use case" as they are - useless. Was this a vote for a function pointer based HAL or just a Torvalds-like reflex? If the former is the case, then I'm apparently the only one - counting the silent people on this topic as agreeing or not caring - against this approach. In this case I would advice to rethink and remodel the whole driver and HAL design. With the use of function pointers it could be made extremely more (pseudo) object-oriented what make many things much more convenient to implement.
