It depends on how you fill in the template.  Of course, you can get
C++ to perform argument conversion just like C (and even more).

Since the frontends and the backends are fairly independent in GCC,
the C++ functionality has basically been available from day #1 of
AVR-GCC.  However, as i wrote in another message, libstdc++ cannot
be compiled since it would generate too far jumps (but you probably
don't want that huge blurb in a microcontroller anyway ;-), and
Marek implemented the code required to run global constructors/
desctructors only very recently, so in all officially released
versions of AVR-GCC they simply don't work.  (Global constructors
and destructors are a matter of the libc framework, since they
need to be run before and after main().)
