The things you mention are true but wholly besides the point. C/C++ normally means "C flavoured C++, or just C, I don't care", or it can mean "more modern C++, maybe do a bit of plain C or interface with C libraries". It's more about the domain you're working in and the general approach (compiled language, caring about performance, ....), and results, than about the minutiae of the language you're using. It doesn't mean thinking of C/C++ as literally a language that you can compile, and doesn't mean compiling random C code as C++.
