This issue can turn religious fast, so let's don't go that route. Here are my main reasons for deciding that C is preferrable to C++ for this project: - C is simpler. The average programmer knows 80% of C but maybe 40% of C++. - C is more mature. There are still many compiler issues with C++. - C is the "Open Source Language". The majority of Open Source projects use C. - C++ does not bring a great advantage to a minimalistic project such as Rockbox. -- BjörnReceived on 2002-06-26 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
