Pro*C/C++ (new name) is a precompiler, that processes C or C++ code containing embedded SQL statements. It is not free.
Oracle's API to the server is called the Oracle Call Interface (OCI). It is "free", in the sense that the library (which, along with the manual, is all you need) does come with the Oracle server. You can use the OCI with C or C++, and, on some platforms, COBOL or FORTRAN.
