There's actually a fair amount of experience with people doing C++ in
FreeBSD kernels. People have been doing things with it for about 8
years now. There are significant performance issues with even C code
compiled as C++. It is possible to write fast C++ for kernel work,
but it is also very easy to write really bad C++ for kernel work.
Easier than bad C code.
There's reasons that people here are somewhat skeptical about using
C++ in the kernel.
