" summary

Explains why calling certain C-style RTOS concurrency primitives (specifically concurrent queues) from C++ code can cause serious problems, even though simpler C APIs like thread creation may be safe. Uses examples from embedded RTOS C APIs and C++ concurrency rules/behaviors to show the technical mismatch that leads to failures.
