“C subset of C++” -> Where not ? examples?
I am aware that C is a subset of C++ (i.e. there does not exist valid C code that is not valid C++ code). My question is whether g++ is completely compatible with all C code. For example, will
g++ -o testing test.c
produce an identical binary to
gcc -o testing test.c
in all circumstances?
More specifically, if they do not always create identical binaries, is there any reason that that could be a problem? Is it safe to always use g++ if I'm not sure about the code?
