We do not get that fancy.  All the process control, task creation,
etc. we do in our main task routines.  We use C++ to encapsulate our
data and abstract the meat of the application so that the main loop of the
task might be just like:

task1( void * ptr_to_object )
{
   (MyObject) ptr_to_object->run()

}

I don't do dynamuic memory allocation in a realtime system, with the exception of in the
initial object creation and initializations.  You do have to be careful
about what C++ is doing under the surface.

Hope this helps.
