I'm going to conditionally say "yes" because, while I build and test
C++, I know there are some language features of C I took advantage of
to get far (20-bit) addressing, that C++ simply doesn't support.  So
I'm not sure how well C++ will work "in real programs" in all cases.

Also, there's some overhead in setting up the C++ objects that might
be an issue on the smallest MSP430 devices.  You can work around it on
a per-project basis, but it's something to keep in mind when choosing
a language.

I also expect there will be plenty of "in real programs" features you
folks will be asking for that I'll need to add - FSF ports are not
fixed in stone :-)

If you ask me for FORTAN support, though, I'm more likely to say "no" :-)
(or at least "you're on your own")
