From the RTOS side of things, C++ exceptions are just a glorified jump. As long as they're jumping from one bit of your code to another, they don't interfere with the RTOS. So you can write a try { } catch(std::exception) { }.

When there is no C++ handler, the RTOS indeed will have to step in as your C++ code stops running.
