It works on Windows since the 16 bit days, actually.

You just need to declspec(dllexport) the classes, with the caveat that thanks to the lack of standard ABI you need the same compiler on both sides.

Yes, it does work on Windows. Not anywhere else.

Which makes it a compiler issue, not a language one.

Then again, most other platforms never were too C++ friendly and rather lean on C.

BeOS, Symbian, Genode and Windows are probably the only OSes that give C++ some love.
