Well, as the whole application is in C++ it is rather difficult to extract 
something... OK.

Our application is the data recording system based on MPC8XX CPUs.
For this application I has the following class inheritance trees: 
- channel, input channel/output channel, DMA, PCM (telemetry) channel/Ethernet 
Channel/etc.. From this i create objects of specific input channels of the 
DMA type.
- channel, input channel-output channel, UART. From this i create objects of 
different UART input channels.
On this tree base all the other type of channels are based (total up to 26 
today).

Our application has the standardized structure of messages that are built by 
input channels and passed to recording media via message queues. This is the 
set of template/based classes of about 6 types.

We have implemented the FAT16/FAT32 file system. The difference between both 
is encoded in template set of functions.
------------------------------------
I can continue this way for a lot of time. Generally speaking, the general 
advantages of OO programming are in RT the same as elsewhere.

The only one thing I should like to add is, that all the application was 
written first in pure C. Then, several years ago we rewrote it in C++ and 
compared the performance. If the C application was using 25% of CPU, the 
exactly the same C++ application in exactly the same conditions used 27%.

Feel free to ask questions you want.
