I just noticed that I could change all my C++ blocks into cpp blocks and then use header-args:cpp without any problem. The org-mode manual states that the identifier for the C++ language is "C++" (https://orgmode.org/manual/Languages.html) but the same page links to some babel documentation (https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages.html) where it is listed as "cpp". ORG-NEWS has one example using C++, but the test suite only has cpp examples. There is some hint on https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-C.html#orgea7b004 that using cpp might not fully work (?). And clearly while lisp/org-src.el has many functions implemented for both cpp and C++, its not always complete. For instance it defines org-babel-header-args:C++ but there is no org-babel-header-args:cpp, meaning incomplete completion for cpp blocks header-args. >From all that it feels like the documentation wants us to use C++, and that the code is trying to keep cpp for backward compatibility (?), but that each option has different drawbacks. I'll stick to C++ and header-args:C+++... -- Alexandre Duret-Lutz
