I don't think this is a valid question to ask.  You can have C-like
constructs that actually use C++ features that are not visible in
syntax.  For example, function overloading:

void f(void *);
void f(int);

void g() {
  f(42);
}

"g" uses only statements that exist in C, but it depends on overload
resolution and you can not determine that based on syntax only.
