That's right. There have been some very preliminary experiments of C++
support by translation into plain C, but this is not in a state where
it is usable, and as far as I know, no development on this topic is
planned for now (of course, this might change in presence of a generous
sponsor ;-).

Frama-C in itself has no issue with dynamic allocation per se. Some
situations (e.g. having a malloc in a loop whose number of steps cannot
be simply determined) are more difficult to analyze than others, but
this is true for almost every C construction.
