> flavor of Visual Studio, and perhaps some C++ class library, for
driver
development a few years down the road. It’s a bit painful for the
pioneers, but we’re coping.
I’m by far not a pioneer in C++, working with it for around 10 years
(more then with drivers), but using C++ with drivers seems to be just
adding yet another do-nothing wrapper, which adds to extra things to
comprehend.
Also - reading the code written by others. In C++, this is a PITA. C
is much simpler.
Why I really like is port-miniport idea by MS, and I suspect that good
driver toolkit can be for its drivers as NDIS is for NIC drivers. For
instance, it would hide all PnP issues.
