It’s an unholy combination of C, C++, and Microsoft extensions at worst. But apart possibly from some COM-related DLLs, the spirit is clearly C, and C++ exceptions are generally not expected. (There may be use of SEH in some parts.)

Of course, you can write C++ without exception safety too, but “C++ as a better C” and exception-safe C++ are effectively like two different languages.
