Object-oriented programming is a design choice, not a language
feature.  You can write straight procedural code in C++, and you can
write object oriented code in C.  Sure, C++ has some language features
which facilitate object-oriented programming, but it doesn't magically
make your code object-oriented.  You can certainly write basic
object-oriented code in C and hide most of the implementation in
preprocessor macros if you so desire.
