Isn’t the Windows kernel C++?
- Strom 7y agoThe Windows kernel is mostly C, but also parts in assembly and C++. [1] It also helps to keep in mind that back in the late 80s, when development work on the NT kernel began, C++ was still the new kid on the block. NT kernel work began even before ANSI C was done. -- [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/4oruo1/windows_10_coded_in_c_or_assembler/ https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/4oruo1/windows_10_code...
- pjmlp 7y agoJust as historical note. Microsoft C/C++ 7.0 was released in 1992 alongside MFC 1.0, which was a bit late to the race. Microsoft was the latest C compiler vendor on the MS-DOS space to integrate a C++ compiler into their tooling.
