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?
