Almost all file type detection is made in "filetype.vim" script in your VIM
distribution. Some of then reads the buffer to "find" the type of the file you
are working on. Others just trust the extension of the file name. C and C++
doesn't have a script to read the buffer to find out what kind of the file you
are working on. This isn't needed. Read the content of the buffer is just for
types that can lead a confusion or are used by more than one syntax type.
