My experience isn't extensive but I've certainly regretted using C++
for an application whose threading got more complex than we had
planned originally.

If you are using GNAT, be aware of GNAT.Threads; on some operating
systems (VxWorks, for instance) you must call
GNAT.Threads.Register_Thread in Ada code called (via C, for example)
from an OS thread before you do anything involving the RTS (string
catenation, ...). Other compilers will have their own way of dealing
with this.
