So for C++ support should one use "universal-ctags"? What are the current limitations?

In release notes for 6.6.5 I read:

[DEPRECATED]
o gtags: the built-in C++ parser is deprecated, since it is not well
maintained.
  Currently, it is hard to say that GLOBAL supports C++ language.

What is state of C++ support? I really like being able to have my
global/gtags/ggtags.el eco-system provide me C++ definitions AND references
(where methods/functions are being called from.) universal-ctags, I don't
believe it can find  references.

What is the state of C++ support and what is the likely future?

Thanks.
