Anthony,
Give me a moment of your time to see if I can convince you otherwise.
I appreciate the difficulty in catering to every Tom, Dick, and
Harry's request for support.
I build extremely complex embedded systems where procedural
programming and methodologies like functional decomposition are not
practical. I build large information models in advance of coding and
then use an object-oriented (OO) language to implement the models, in
this case C++. Inheritance hierarchies, instantiation relationships,
compositional relationships, etc. are all modeled in advance (I don't
use a tool, just paper, pencil, and thinking.) Programming in a non-
OO language would be beyond painful.
The delta you have right now between what you have and what C++ needs
is only a handful of source lines and the changes are trivial. If you
choose not to accommodate such you will blocking all the folks who
need OO development methodologies.
QEMU is a wonderful technology and you have done a remarkable job in
creating and promoting it. I wouldn't ask if the task to support C++
were significant but as the delta is so small you would be opening
QEMU up to the embedded folks like myself who use lesser known
operating systems and need to create behavioral models of complex
devices.
Thanks for your time, I won't bug you anymore.

Hi folks,
I'm not up to speed enough to feel comfortable submitting patches
but I have noticed a couple issues and thought you might be
interested. Some of us develop custom devices in C++ and need to
include qemu header files into C++ source.
I don't think we're ever going to support C++ devices in QEMU so
it's unlikely that we would make such changes.
