The X11R4 Xlib has stuff like this in it:

#if defined(__cplusplus) || defined(c_plusplus)
        int c_class;            /* C++ class of screen (monochrome, etc.) */
#else
        int class;              /* class of screen (monochrome, etc.) */
#endif

so using it with C++ shouldn't be a problem.
