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...
