I don't see any need to use C++ for that. All the exported APIs are
callable from C code, and the corresponding headers are C compatible
too.

Well the Platform SDK headers use C++. From gdiplus.h:

...
    namespace DllExports
    {
        #include "GdiplusFlat.h"
    };
...

And if you try to just include GdiplusFlat.h (i.e . only using the gdi+ flat api), you have to include GdiplusGpStubs.h. From GdiplusGpStubs.h:

...
class GpBrush {};
class GpTexture : public GpBrush {};
...

So it would be impossible to compile any conformance test for gdi+ in C using the platform sdk headers. In my eyes it seems that there are 2 options: edit the platform sdk headers so that they are compatible with C code (change "class GpFoo {};" to "typedef void GpFoo") or use g++ to compile. Are you suggesting the former over the latter?
