objdump is the command to analyze object files.

What do you want to check, exactly?

A .o file is the translated output from compilation. It is not C++, even if the source code that generated it was written in C++. You could get an .o file from the compilation of source of any programming language.

Use objdump to look at .o files.

You could also use the nm command.
