C++ compatible include files

Hi,

I was wondering if there are plans to make the ia64 kernel include files C++ compatible. In particular
the ::: in the embedded assembly in system.h and atomic.h seems to prevent these files,
and the files that include them (e.g. fs.h) from being included in C++ programs.

Thanks,

Umh, why are you including kernel headers? That's a no-can-do, as Linus has stated repeatedly.

Since the kernel is written in C, there is no point in adding C++ hacks.

In case that isn't obvious: I was talking about including kernel headers in _applications_. I'm assuming that's what you were trying to do. If not, please explain.

That will probably never happen, you shouldn't use the kernel header files directly from user space.
