It may be java or objc.

It all boils down to whether we consider examples to be code ready-to-paste
in another application or code showing the best practices of the API in the
most readable way.

IMHO, the first version is not reasonable: a real-world application would
need error handling smarter than 'printf("something went wrong\n");
exit(1);", user interaction, etc. The few changes needed to make C compile
as c++ are negligible in front of that.

And the changes make the code less readable, defeating the second purpose
"best practices in the most readable way".
