Subject: [PATCH] #ifdef __cplusplus removal
Marcello,
This patch removes the "#ifdef __cplusplus" from within a "#ifdef
__KERNEL__" in linux/string.h. It really isn't needed AFACIT. It was put
in for 1.1.0, which was before __KERNEL__ appeared. Alan told me to send
it to you.

A quick grep shows __cplusplus is used in quite a few places in the kernel
source. I'm wondering if various developers are running their code through
g++ to maybe pick up on warnings that gcc doesn't see.

That was the only one I saw in include/linux that was inside __KERNEL__ .
I didn't look in include/asm* carefully, but grep found some __cplusplus
code there as well.
