C++ support in kernel module in 64-bit system

Hi,

I know C++ is not recommended in kernel module, however, we have a module written in a mix of C and C++ files, the module works well in 32-bit system (kernel 2.6), now we are trying to port the module to 64-bit system, is C++ not supported at all in 64-bit system?

Thanks,
YH

No. For very good reasons

Thanks. Could you provide more information? such as a link on this from kernel developers.
