We could setup a regression tester for objc++, submit test cases and report bugs if when they appear. None of this will guarantee that it can't bit rot but when changes are made that cause issues I suspect the committer will either try to fix it, or explain what needs to be done. At that point we it we'd need someone to actually fix it, if the maintainers feel the patch is more important that the regression. I do not know much about c++ so I do not know how usable it currently is and I'm not able to write test cases.
