Remember that if you want to use C++ in kernel development, you'll only get a small subset of C++ because there's no runtime system to rely on. Exceptions are one example of this. Without exceptions, the advantages of C++ are not that great compared to the hassle it needs to get running in kernel mode like dealing with name mangling, static/global constructors, etc and hassling with compilers.
