Will cc-mode ever support Objective-C++?

If somebody is prepared to step up and undertake the work, then yes.
Otherwise, no.

Speaking personally, I don't envisage having the free time to do this
myself in the foreseeable future. But I would be able to help somebody
else by email.

Is there much demand for this? As I understand it, Objective-C and
Objective-C++ are almost entirely used for Mac-only and iThingy
software. Emacs is most popular for people doing *nix development. So
are there many people doing iThingy development using emacs as their IDE?

I guess I asked for that!

But is there anyone else? Are there many people looking for this support?

Of course, maybe there would be more people using this combination if it
was well supported.

There is always someone who edits Objective-C++ with ed or vim or
emacs. If for nothing else then for making it to look more complicated
from side. Sure they want good syntax highlighting and context-aware
autocomplete if possible.

The appcode (JetBrains) and xcode (Apple) remain more convenient
choices anyway.
