Firmware development. For some microcontrollers, you'll be lucky to even have a C compiler let alone a C++ compiler. Even then, I'd rather use C than C++ for firmware. I often find myself running into odd compiler issues, having to inspect/modify assembly, deal with resource constraints, etc. and I imagine C++ would make that more difficult.
