Historical C++ in uCs was thought of ridiculous. With recent uCs and
Compilers things may have changed. But NutOs is no planned project, things
evolve where people find interest in and contribute. Probably nobody had
long time interest in C++ for Nut/OS. So no, it is not intentional.

Side effects on different archs with different compilers may happen. So
things may be more complex.

    Marcin> So is there a plan to support C++?

Not that I know off.

    Marcin> Or am i missing something?

Your contribution?
