Good lord, please don't run a big piece of C++ code as root. We designed things to have very very little code running as root, to keep the exploit surface area small.
Also we strongly strongly discourage people from writing their apps with such a structure, where they for a separate process. The system is not designed to be used this way, and it won't manage these separate processes correctly. Currently it doesn't do much with them, but probably in the future it will get more aggressive about killing and cleaning them out of the system.
