XCode is really nothing more than a GUI front-end for a wide-variety of coding tools. Both C and C++ are built-in to the Mac operating system so you can use the cc command line tool to compile both C and C++, however most users prefer a GUI to the command line, thus gaining the advantage of a more integrated development environment (IDE). XCode integrates with gcc, which is better suited to cross-platform development than the built-in cc compiler.
