However, this <https://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/gcc/newbies-guide/gotchas-and-faq.html> page states the following: As of version 4.8, GCC is (mostly) implemented in C++, C++98 specifically. The current version is GCC 11.2, isn't it? At what point did the GCC developers give up C++98 and start using C++11? Is it correct to say that the C++ code of GCC is composed of both C++98 and C++11? Additionally, Jonathan also stated the following in one of his emails in this thread: It also looks like they haven't updated those numbers since April last > year, *so it will wrongly count all .c files as C even the ones which > contain C++ instead*. A huge number of files were renamed from .c to .cc > recently, because they contain C++ and so had a misleading .c extension. > That doesn't seem to be accounted for in those numbers. The page linked above also has a similar claim: As of version 4.8, GCC is (mostly) implemented in C++, but we haven’t > renamed the source files. Hence you will see source files with a .c > extension throughout the source tree. *These are generally handled by the > build system as C++, rather than C*. Does this mean that ALL the files with the ".c" extension in the GCC codebase are C++ files? How shall I determine which files are C++ files and which ones are in C? Regards, Abdullah.
