Frankly, I disagree. I’d settle for a driver with 2/3 more lines for an
architecture that’s 3 times easier to explain to someone who has to maintain
or extend it. If that means using OO methodology, then have at it. I’m not
arguing for or against any particular methodology here, just against the bag
full of tricks that obscure intention for the sake of code size or fear of
the unknown.
Also, just because it has been that way forever doesn’t make it right.

Subject: [ntdev] Re: 3rd party Device driver development tool or pure
wdm driver development…Which is the best???Let me say this:
I have nothing against tool kits. Esp. if they are available with
source. My argument is against C++ OO development in a KM driver.Drivers should be small and tight. I think we all agree with this; it
has been so forever in the “black magic” world of driver development.
So, I content that if you NEED to use C++ and OO in your driver, maybe
more time should be spent rethinking the architecture and design.Jamey
