I guess you are wrong ;)
See `man gcc` where the DESCRIPTION states:
The usual way to run GCC is to run the executable called gcc, or
machine-gcc when cross-compiling, or machine-gcc-version to run a
specific version of GCC. When you compile C++ programs, you should
invoke GCC as g++ instead.
Have a nice evening!

Compiling a sample xxx.cc file using 'c++' command compiles fine whereas 'gcc' command outputs errors. A whole bunch of 'undefined reference to's.
Am i wrong to assume that 'gcc' command would use the file extension and call the appropriate compiler.
