MiniKernel: OOP in C & Linux Driver Architecture

A bare-metal simulation of the Linux Kernel's Object-Oriented design patterns. This project demonstrates how C uses function pointers, vtables, and generic pointers (void*) to achieve polymorphism without language-level support for classes.

Overview

The Linux Kernel is written in C, yet it is highly modular and object-oriented. This project reverse-engineers that architecture to build a "Mini Kernel" that manages hardware drivers.
