Some instances of the use of C++ language can be detected on Windows by noting the presence of msvcp##.dll (Microsoft C++ Runtime Library) in the game directories. These are very often accompanied by regular C runtime as well, but this is simply because C can be used fluidly in C++ and already offers functionality for which there's no reason to create pure C++ alternative.
