agreed, one thought: at the time I added this thing, I had to add C++
compilation support,
maybe something we can now drop if there are no more C++ users?
I thought about that, too, but we still have disas/nanomips.cpp left and
the Windows-related files in qga/vss-win32/* .
That is pure C++ so it does not need the extra complication of "detect
whether the C and C++ compiler are ABI-compatible" (typically due to
different libasan/libtsan implementation between gcc and clang). So it's
really just nanoMIPS that's left.
Ok, so the next theoretical question is: If we get rid of the nanomips.cpp
file or convert it to plain C, would we then simplify the code in configure
again (and forbid C++ for the main QEMU code), or would we rather keep the
current settings in case we want to re-introduce more C++ code again in the
future?
