Why does the Solaris kernel have C++ unions? Surely he just means unions?

Sun reveals tidbits of Solaris open source strategy (NewsForge) Posted Jun 18, 2004 0:55 UTC (Fri) by josh_stern (guest, #4868) [Link] Unions can appear in C++ code but not make use of C++features such as constructors and destructors. He might have made some comment either expression frustration with someone's use of unions in C++ code or with C++'s design that doesn't allow those features for unions.

Sun reveals tidbits of Solaris open source strategy (NewsForge) Posted Jun 18, 2004 21:24 UTC (Fri) by bmc (guest, #22430) [Link] If you only knew me you would know how absolutely ridiculous the idea is that I'm a PHB... For starters, see my clarification on the misquote (which I saw someone else also posted -- thank you). Also, for accusing me of being a PHB, you are hereby ordered to read my AADEBUG paper from start to finish. ;)(Suffice it to say that you would be lucky if you could find a PHB who could accurately define any of the words "postmortem", "object", "type" and "identification" -- let alone it means when they appear together...)
Sun reveals tidbits of Solaris open source strategy (NewsForge) Posted Jun 24, 2004 3:38 UTC (Thu) by foorilious (guest, #22539) [Link] I've met Bryan (at SunNetwork), and I will testify that he could not be less pointy-haired or bossy. He does talk (and write example code) faster than any human should, though.
