Just like, yes.  Exactly the same thing as, no.  The details matter
here.  There's a lot of code to make this happen.

No.

: Any one did or knows how to do this ?

I've done C++ in the kernel before.  IT is realtively easy to get very
basic functioanlity.  You won't have streams, exceptions, etc.
However, to have all the features of C++ would take a lot of work.
