Comment: << Why don't Linux kernels with C ? The postman wrote 'in the recent discussion of LKML for Macolex Macolex, linus gave the reason why no C to write Linux kernel: In the recent discussion about LKML, Linus gives why not C Reasons for writing Linux kernels: "IN FACT, IN LINUX WE DID TRY C Once Already, Back in 1992. It sucks. Trust Me - Writing Kernel Code In C Is A Bloody Stupid Idea." In fact, we have tried C is written, it is in 1992. very bad. I believe I - Write the kernel code with C is a very stupid idea. "" The fact is, C compilers are not trustworthy They were even worse in 1992, but some fundamental facts have not changed:... 1) the whole C exception handling thing is fundamentally broken It's _especially_ broken for kernels 2) any compiler or language that likes to hide things like memory allocations behind your back just is not a good choice for a kernel. 3) you can write object-oriented code (useful for filesystems etc) in C, _without_ the crap that is C . " "In fact, the C compiler is very unreliable. The situation is very bad in 1992, and some foundations have not changed yet: (1) The whole C to Exception is not complete, especially when writing the kernel. (2) Any compiler or program language that likes to hide the functionality related to memory allocation is a wrong choice for writing the kernel. (3) In C. You can also write object-oriented code (it is useful when writing the file system), it is not required to C .
