Both Keil and IAR support both C and C++, according to their webpages. 
But perhaps you have to pay separately for a C compiler and for a C++ 
compiler, and probably separately per target architecture, too.

There are some:

The GNAT Ada compiler from AdaCore, which initially used the GCC 
back-end, will have a variant based on the LLVM back-end. Currently this 
is still experimental, I believe. This compiler is the most up to date 
in terms of language features.

ObjectAda from PTC is an Ada 2012 compiler, but I believe it supports 
only x86 and x86_64 platforms, so not comparable to SDCC.

Janus/Ada from RR Software "supports the complete syntax and selected 
features of" Ada 2012. However, it lacks a few Ada 95 features, and is 
currently only available on and for x86 Windows. In the past, it 
supported also embedded targets such as the Z80.

There may be others; I have not made a thorough survey.
