There is a file included with wxEuphoria called cplusplus.e.  It does some 
things to help when dealing with C++.  Ultimately, it's not that different
from dealing with C.  The biggest difference is that you have to be able to
handle the name mangling.  You also have to remember to explicitly pass a 
pointer to the object (most compilers just add it as the first parameter
list, MSVC uses a different calling convention).

Also, EuCOM is effectively using C++.
