Does C18 Compiler provide a platform for C++?

Hallo TechGuru! I am a developer who uses C++ for all my development work. I have received a bit of information on this new technology c18 compiler saying that it provides a very good platform for development. What is not yet clear is whether this is available for people working on C++ projects. If yes, how can I be able to acquire it and incorporate it into my system? How expensive is it?
