If your question is can you use FreeRTOS with C++, yes you can. I have some wrappers that make the API more object oriented at [https://github.com/richard-damon/FreeRTOScpp](https://github.com/richard-damon/FreeRTOScpp) (I am sure there are likely others around too)

The one small trick is that you need to compile the FreeRTOS files as a C program (not C++), and any ‘by name’ callbacks must be defined as extern “C” functions.
