No, I think it's C. It's written in C and was (at least initially) designed to be called from C code. I think #ifdef __cplusplus followed by extern "C" doesn't make a C API C/C++. Also the fact that there are several Microsoft and third-party wrappers out there doesn't make it any less C, at least in my opinion.

I did not say it's C++. It's C, but it's rare that it's used directly as C.
