Was this the last use of C++ in the tree, or am I forgetting
some other part that still needs the C++ compiler?
If it is the last thing, we should put in the "Build Dependencies"
part of the release notes that a C++ compiler is no longer required
and mention that the configure options to specify it will go away in
a future release.
I guess the last use is from the Guest Agent on Windows...
$ git ls-files | fgrep .cpp
qga/vss-win32/install.cpp
qga/vss-win32/provider.cpp
qga/vss-win32/requester.cpp
Yes, I think the c++ configure options are still required for that
Windows stuff ... but IIRC Paolo once mentioned that we could simplify
the linker logic in configure or meson.build once the nanomips stuff has
been converted, since we now do not have to mix C and C++ linkage anymore?
Oh I guess I got it, we only need to link qga.exe as a standalone binary
unrelated to the qemu-system/user binaries, so we can simplify most of
the linkage?
