As I said previously, I don't see the relevance of the thread you've started here. I never suggested that anyone code in the style of C++ output. What I suggested was that one can comfortably obtain object-oriented programming support C through use of a single header and run-time support module, plus programmer discipline (which is required anyway); the C language has all the necessary facilities and it is just a matter of organizing your use of them.
