I'm wondering if the Arduino IDE support includes C++ programming? If it does, I'm wonder if we can learn and reuse that recipe for compiling apps under the Espressif SDK? I'm a big fan of the Eclipse tooling and would like to write, compile and deploy C++ apps but is seems that pask SDK 1.0.1, it no longer works the same way and the recipe is missing for what might need to be done to get C++ support right.

If the Arduino IDE does support C++, would it be possible to share the recipes?

My understanding is that the IDE uses C++ . It is based on the processing IDE which you can search to confirm that and get more info on the forum for Arduino.cc . That would be the best place to ask your questions for a detailed explanation

Enable verbose output in preferences and open up temporary build directory. You will see that IDE combines sketches into a C++ file and sends it to compiler. You can include C++ classes in your sketches. Look at Arduino libraries - they all are written in C++.
