While the C++ standard does define hosted and freestanding implementations, its definition is different from (and less useful than) that in the C standard. For instance, the C++ standard requires the existence of abort(), atexit() and exit() even in a freestanding implementation. Basically, one cannot indiscriminately use the same compiler flags for C and C++, because they are very different languages - far more different than they seem on the surface. Modern C++ is very poorly suited for low-level code. > According to above explanation, "-fno-builtin" is a subset of > "-ffreestanding" and it's enough for kernel. No, it isn't. I think you would do wisely to acquire a little more knowledge of and experience with C, C++ and kernel programming before you pursue this topic any further. Most importantly, we already have an working object model in the FreeBSD kernel, with classes, inheritance, and all that jazz, implemented partly in C and partly in a custom IDL which is translated into C by src/sys/tools/makeobjops.awk.
