There are? I can't find any in /usr/src/sys by any of the usual
suffixes. Whatever would you want to do that for, anyway? That
would bring a whole extra language runtime support library into the
kernel, and complicate the boot process with constructors and
what-not.
Seems like a backwards step, to me.
Not that this should stop you from de-keywording the include
files, if that takes your fancy, but permuting a variable
"class" into "clazz" is a bit gruesome, imo. Why not just comment
the argument name out altogether? It's not strictly needed in
the prototype.
Cheers,
Andrew
