Not to mention that it is better the BeOS/OpenBeOS compiler supports C++ 
very well as 95% of the API will be C++.

Also, the restrictions Ingo point out are not related to "bad C++ 
support", but to the fact you don't want to have a C++ runtime linked to 
your kernel so you can't use "advanced" C++ stuff.
