I would like to use C++ for everything inside the kernel if possible.
The PPP module and the PPPoE module could be C++. :)
I would like that very much.
But, the need of wrappers around C++ modules when writing the protocols
because the modules are in C is not cool.
Maybe we could make C++ the default protocol and add a C++->C wrapper module
that loads the C modules. The core module would load C++ modules and the C++
wrapper module that returns all C modules. This would save some calls and
make C++ modules even easier.
As an alternative we could make a wrapper that can be integrated into the
project as an additional source file and a small macro call with the C++
class as the argument:
WRAP_CPP_NET_MODULE(mycppmod);
