I concur with Jonathan's implication that gcc is far more standard conforming for C++ than it is for C. The gcc maintainers have shifted their general attitude about language extensions over time, but it's hard to remove the existing C extensions as they are widely used. There were never very many C++ extensions, and I believe the ones which remain are useful and are clearly demarked by double underscores. Ian
