I've been trying to work with the Microsemi SmartFusion FPGA/MCU SOC boards and their "free" toolchain that includes an Eclipse-based "SoftConsole" IDE that appears to be based on the GNU C/C++ compiler chain. The Actel website claims the compiler supports C and C++ but the FAQ says [warning: pdf] C++ projects are not supported. Have any of you succeeded in creating simple C++ classes/objects with the tools?

We have been successfully running C++ code on SmartFusion under uClinux using the GNU toolchain from CodeSourcery.
Further details are here.

My friendly Microsemi FAE has shared that SoftConsole v3.4 should support C++ now.
