bazisLib for kernel-mode drivers?

[jtorjo]

Hi guys,

Can we use BazisLib for writing kernel mode drivers (on Windows OS)? I’ve seen a lot of discussion that only C should be used for kernel-mode drivers.

Yes, BazisLib fully supports writing kernel-mode drivers and even has several examples of compact and efficient object-oriented drivers.
The discussion about “only C” is caused by the fact that misuse of C features would cause one write more lines, but misuse of C++ features causes one source line generate much more binary code (e.g. use of implicit std::string constructor from a constant string, when not needed), that results performance drop not noticeable by developer directly. That’s why, rather than carefully design C++ programs and check the result in disassembler for some cases, many developers prefer using “old plain C”.
