I wouldn't say that there is no plan for C++ support as some code for

C++ compilers are incompatible to each other and that also G++ likes
to change its formats now and then, the basic memory layout in G++ is
rather stable. The biggest problems is getting this supported at all,
interfacing with the C++ Std library and things like virtual methods,
etc.

In layman's terms : what is the 'support level' required for this to
even /start/ working at all(even if not perfect at first) and what is considered
'100% supported' ? So that people who /know/ things (not me I'm afraid)
can tinker it to make it better ?
I don't know what you want to get at, but what currently works can be
seen in the following test files:
http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/tests/test/cg/tcppcl1.pp?revision=16684&view=markup
http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/tests/test/cg/tcppcl2.pp?revision=16684&view=markup
The corresponding C++ files are
http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/tests/test/cg/obj/cpptcl1.cpp?revision=15239&view=markup
http://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/trunk/tests/test/cg/obj/cpptcl2.cpp?revision=15239&view=markup
Basically this means that name mangling works and calling static methods
of C++ classes. That's it currently. I had planned to extend the support
a bit (you'll see my name in one of the commit messages), but I got
sidetracked with other projects like NativeNT port, helper types and
generics (not to mention my non-FPC-related projects).

Sven
