Re: Putting C++ code into gcc front end

You didn't understand the bottom line.

The bottom line was: We should be able to use C++ where appropriate.
We should be not be forced to rewrite C++ codes in K+R just because we
are making difficult to explain requirements wheress the vast
majority of the world have compilers that understand C90.

Was I proposing to rewrite GCC in C++?

(I may but I didn't).
