[Corelinux-public] a few questions

[James S. <ca...@ri...>]

Well, I have a few questions, so I'll just enumerate them. Most of which are
nitpicky, but I'm curious...

1. Why use .cpp and .hpp, instead of the more unix .cc and .hh?

2. Is corelinux based on templates?
I read the blurb on the use of templates. Static type checking is a really
nice feature to have. Yet, if you look at a language like java, where all
classes inherit from a superclass Object, non static type checking has its
benefits.. Ie. the ability to stick almost anything in a hashtable. I see
how this could be resolved using templates and a strict java-like class
heirarchy..

3. If you have a subclass specifically for UTF8, are you considering a
subclass for each of the different regional encodings (theoretically, of
course)?

4. Have you considered standarizing the types in an abstract header file.
Similiar to what glib does...

5. I noticed the use of doc++. Does documentation include the use of the
    @param, @exception, features?

6. What is the current stage of development?

thanks,

james
