It works for C++ files as well. I think early versions of gprmake
needed the following package Naming specified inside the project file:

   package Naming is
      for Implementation_Suffix ("C++") use ".cpp";
      for Specification_Suffix ("C++") use ".h";
   end Naming;

But apart from that, C++ should work fine as well.

You can even have the "main" in a language like C or C++:

   for Languages use ("Ada", "C", "C++");
   for Main_Language use "C++";
   for Main use ("main.cpp");

Yes, I completely agree.
