The reason is because Pro*C 2.0 includes a C parser, but not a C++ parser. I believe this was mentioned in the manual, but I don't have a copy here at home to verify that. The C parser (with a preprocessor) offers a lot of advantages for C people.

Pro*C 2.1 (with Oracle 7.2, and soon to be in beta) will be compatible with C++.
