[ros-dev] shell32 vs. shell32_new

[Gregor Schneider]

Hi ros-dev,

I've seen shell32_new being added into trunk by r51768, but haven't heard of
anything else about it. From what I can see it changes shell32 from C to
C++, which looks like a good move.

Problematic seems to me that it is completely out of sync with trunk's
shell32 (judging from the translations alone).
It might also be annoying for merging future patches, since the C to C++
move changes the code substantially.

So are there any plans concering shell32_new? Do I have to merge all code
changes in C and C++ or is shell32(_old) going to be dumped anytime soon?

Best regards,
Gregor
