MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for katecpp-helper-plugin [2]:

Hey @arcanis and AUR TU's,
I suggest this discontinued and now broken helper plugin can be
deleted. It cannot be built because it's missing a KDE SDK for Kate
editor which no longer exists. Latest tagged release was in 2014, last
development commit was in 2017. It only supported up to C++ 14 source
code syntax.

It's not needed anymore.
Since 1 Jan 2020 Kate has an integrated LSP (Language Server Protocol)
client plugin, via which the editor can access helper modules for a
large list of programming/markup languages. C and C++ syntax support
comes from clang/LLVM as was the case with this plugin, but now it
supports the latest C++17 as well, and of course it will fully support
C++20 standard once it matures.
