There's no help for the C++ language per se, exactly like there's no help 
for the C language.

If you mean C++ libraries, then the docs exist for the iostream classes 
(type "info iostream") and for the GNU G++ classes (type "info libgpp").  
Note that the docs for the latter are in the lgp2811b.zip archive.

The standard C++ classes in libstdcxx.a aren't documented in GNU docs 
(with the exception of the iostream classes), so you will need to look 
for the docs elsewhere.

When in doubt, type "info" without argument and browse the menu presented 
to you for related items.
