Thank you @emaste

Just a question, for the next version of inotifytools, I am changing the codebase from a C one, to be a codebase that supports a restricted set of C++ that doesn't require extra libraries (no requirement on libstdc++) in order to achieve safer code. This adds some basic C++ features such as destructors, classes, C++ style structs, more type safety etc. Do you have any feedback on this before I push?

To give you an idea of what it would look like:

master...tmp_test

Merging passed FreeBSD builds

I'm not sure what weight my answer should have, but I think this is fine to do. We've started making more use of C++ in the FreeBSD base system for some tools, for similar reasons. Of course a library has more concerns but I think using the limited set of C++ features you mention is sensible.
