First you'd have to use C++ in a Linux driver, which is tricky all by itself. Humm, I'd say, all in all, no. You definitely don't have unwinding in kernel mode. This means you must disable exceptions. But the exception replacement system in Boost calls abort(), I believe, and I don't think this call links in kernel objects. (I don't want to know what it would do.) Sebastian
