Writing an FFI for some C++ so that C code may call it takes almost as much work as doing the same for Rust. That's less true the closer your preferred dialect of C++ is to C, I suppose.
Meanwhile Rust, in this user's opinion, offers a superior toolset for modeling data and building behavior, namely: sum types and traits.
So if you're looking to extend or integrate with a C codebase, barring some exotic target platform and all else equal, I don't know why you'd opt for C++ over Rust.
