Actually, you don't have to use WindRiver for C++, but it's documented much better than other methods. The latest versions of GCC (4.8 and above) support building C++ code for VxWorks on PowerPC, which is what the C++11 toolchain mentioned elsewhere uses. One can use their editor of choice and deploy their code with make.

While it has proven to be very stable across multiple platforms in my opinion, newer teams should definitely go with WindRiver since it has examples and better documentation. Also, others can give them help if needed.
