I've always read that there is no reason C++ cannot be used in any environment where C is used, assuming the compiler exists. There is nothing about C++ that makes it less resource-sensitive than C, and in fact with C++14 there is a tremendous amount of computation (including some instance methods!) that can be done at compile time! Scott Meyers shows some of this in his presentation at various conferences on embedded systems. It really opened my eyes to how useful templates can be in tight systems, and those don't exist in C.
