    I am working in the same direction with VxWorks and have found
    the VxWorks User's Group to be of much value.  Others are successfully
    working using g++ with VxWorks (and you probably know that VxWorks
    will be releasing a remote debugger based upon gdb soon).

    The user's group operates through a voluntary central archival
    location using a mail robot.  Much of the software deals with
    ANSIfying VxWorks, making it work with g++, and some useful class
    examples (prioritized pipes, counting semaphores, etc.).  This
    includes code supporting the builtin operators new and delete.

Here's the scoop:

|    To get the basic information to get you started, send an email message
|    to the address:
|
|    vxworks_archive@ncar.ucar.edu
|
|    The subject can anything, but the body of the message must be:
|
|    send index
|
|    This will cause the server to email you the base index and help guide
|    for the server.

Here's more info:
