The fact that it is almost valid C code does not change that. The reactions a number of people have to C++ code that is also valid C code or close to being it are ridiculous. Some times, they even deny C++ code is C++ code. :/

I was just saying that it's not off-topic. I don't really understand what you're trying to say otherwise.
