[Click] C++ in the linux kernel

[Francis Bogsanyi]

I did a partial port of Click to run natively in the Linux 2.6.7 kernel 
a couple months back.  I posted the patches and a description of the 
state of the work to the list, but I haven't had any feedback.  The 
problems aren't with C++ support (that's easy -- Click doesn't require 
exceptions or RTTI, which are the main contributions of the Reykjavik 
University folks, and Eddie supplied a Perl script that does about 80% 
of the work).  The primary difficulty involves the build system and 
specifically how the Linux and Click makefiles interact when building 
Click as an "external module" (a module built outside the kernel source 
tree).  I haven't had any more time to work on this, so you're welcome 
to dig into it!  :-)  You should be able to find the patches in the 
mailing list archives.

Cheers,
Francis.
