Just plain wrong.

Also wrong.  "C" style api's are the standard, even in C++ applications.

Utility libraries should written to that standard.  As logging is a utility
library, it should be written to that standard.

I also am a long time C++ developer, and sympothize with your c++ bias.

C++ developers need to write their api's in a way that is also "C" friendly.
Thats even more true for utility libraries.
