Hi,

The development environment has gcc compiler system which
includes g++ compiler. I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work
on the device unless someone have ripped the c++ runtime libraries
out that I tend to doubt (please correct me if I am wrong, even if
that would be the case, there is the option to statically link them).

Just a quick hello-world -type try in my scratchbox environment:
[sbox-sbox-qemu-new: ~] > nano hello.cpp
[sbox-sbox-qemu-new: ~] > more hello.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

class a {
public:
   a(){s = "world"; cout << s << endl; }
   ~a(){s = "";}
private:
   string s;
};

class b: public a {
public:
   b(){}
   ~b(){cout << "bye" << endl;}
};

int main(void){
   cout << "Hello ";
   b test;
   return 0;
}

Hello world

So at least in scratchbox, seems to work fine.
