My point isn't that eCos has been sufficiently tested for any particular application, but that the multiple inheritance bits aren't any less tested than the rest of the system, since lots of people have used it. And the bugs I see discussed here don't seem to be in that particular area. If you're afraid to use eCos because some small piece of it uses multiple inheritance, then I'm not sure why you wouldn't be afraid to use the rest of it. I think that if I were going for extreme reliability, I'd spend the bucks and start with something like Integrity or VxWorks, which has been qualified for military apps. Indeed, I've been trying to get one medical device company I consult for to abandon eCos for just that reason. -- Ciao, Paul D.
