Apple has a cfront 2.0 C++ that runs under their MPW environment.  It
includes extensions for inheriting from Object Pascal objects (mixing
languages via inheritance doesn't strike me as a wonderful idea, but it
does allow you to inherit from their MacApp library).

Symantec (THINK C aka LightSpeed C) is rumored to be working on a C++
version of their stand-alone compiler/debugger environment.  The initial
release will not support MacApp, or so the rumor goes.

I am not aware of a C++ that runs under AU/X, although I'm sure someone,
somewhere, has unofficially ported g++.
