It exists.  It's just a thin wrapper around the C interface.  To use it,
just include the file <ode/odecpp.h> instead of <ode/ode.h>.  There  
is no
special documentation because it precisely mirrors the C interface.  If
you take a look at the include file you can quickly see what the classes
and member functions are called, and what C functions they correspond to
(though that's also obvious from the names).

Or you can just use the C interface directly from C++, which works  
fine too.
