Seriously Dude?
Have you tried it? I was using c++ before during and after the stl was standardised and the memories of the resulting induced self hair pulling still gives me the shivers. Try writing a real time kernel with full c++ support. You have to provide the entire c++ runtime in the kernel!
I still do a little c++ programming when i am forced to but its only in small pieces. Ill go crazy otherwise.
