 |
|
Hello,
I know this is a extremely noobie question, but can I use a c++ compiler
as a c compiler?
I mean, for professional c++ compiler I right away imagine Borland C++
and Visual C++. And what about people writing pure c? What do they use
except gcc?
So can I use Borland C++ or Visual C++ for pure c development?
thanks,
Felipe |

Yes. The compiler looks at the file extension, unless overwritten by a
switch. A .c file is compiled as C, whereas a .cpp file is compiled as C++
instead.
