Only if you wrote a converter from ELF/stabs to UBROFF.  UBROFF is
supposed to support C++.  UBROFF is the proprietary object format of
IAR.

COFF (well, at least the version used by Atmel) does not support C++
debugging in any way.

There are plans to support ELF/DWARF by AVR Studio, but it's not yet
done, and it also needs GCC support for DWARF (which is not
impossible, but not yet done right now).

Sure.  See the (avr-libc) FAQ.

GDB can debug C++ quite well.

As with all general rules, it is not true. ;-)
