Hi,
Just intergate last source changes to my OS/2 PM and C++ port.
Once again I found Mesa's source high portable.
All changed files I purely renamed to CPP and all compliled without problems.

What about moving to C++ ? ;-) (In terms "of using C++ as C" , non-using external classes, limited class using, limited inheritance and non-using C++ special features)
There is as minimum one project that I pushed to C++ - Squid proxy server. Now they do ver 3 in C++.
Squid's sources were much less C++ friendly than Mesa's.

That would be useful. Making a slow transition to a subset of C++ (Embedded C++, perhaps?) would probably make Mesa much easier to maintain. However, Mesa is also used as the basis for all of the hardware accelerated open-source OpenGL drivers in XFree86. I don't think that the XFree86 project allows C++ to be used. That and the monumental changes it would take to "port" all the hardware drivers to C++ would probably make it not worth the effort.
D'oh.  Sorry for responding to the wrong list. :(  It must be Monday...
