Sometimes the compiler is gcc, but the libraries are...some weird hybrid. Texas Instruments RTOS used their own compiler and a strange mashup of C/C++ (xdctools they call it). I don't understand it, it kind of looks like if somebody had been described the original cfront over the telephone. The latest versions are undoing some of that and they even have the option of using a clang compiler, but on their older chips you are stuck with the original weirdness, which basically means you are restricted to C and assembly in a practical sense.
