[sane-devel] Can I use c++ in sane-backend programing?

[kenwhale]

Hi, all.
     I read backend-writing.txt in www.sane-project.org. It says:
* Use only ANSI C for your backend. C99 is not supported by the 
compilers of some older platforms so please avoid using its features.
     Does that mean I must write my backend in c and can't use c++ ?
