Yes, why not!

It has C++ where appropriate. Like in gb.jit as the LLVM interface is much
more intuitive to talk to in C++ than C. The same goes for gb.qt4 and QT4.

To have an overview of components using C++, look at:

  $ find -name *.cpp | xargs dirname | sort | uniq
  ./TEMPLATE
  ./gb.db.sqlite2/src
  ./gb.db.sqlite3/src
  ./gb.gtk/src
  ./gb.gtk3/src
  ./gb.jit/src
  ./gb.pdf/src
  ./gb.qt4/src
  ./gb.qt4/src/ext
  ./gb.qt4/src/opengl
  ./gb.qt4/src/webkit
  ./gb.sdl/src
  ./gb.xml/src
  ./gb.xml/src/html
  ./gb.xml/src/xslt
  ./main/lib/clipper
  ./main/lib/image.effect

Tobi
