I would call this sort of code "C with namespaces and templates". Classes are definitely the least useful feature that C++ added on top of C.

  this is trivially true as classes are exactly the same as struct except for the default access. If you mean member functions, virtual functions and inheritance, I beg to differ.

  How else would people do OOP in C? Use GObject and its macros and boilerplate?

    structs?

      That's how I did it before C++ existed. Structs with pointers to functions (which is conceptually what C++ classes are).

        Yarp, I do the same. It's rudimentary but works fine and the code is clean enough if you pick a couple conventions (starting "private" variables with an underscore for example) and stick with them.
