Since there are several places where the semantics of C and C++ differ, 
you are not doing what you think.  You are compiling C-like C++ programs 
with a C++ compiler.

There are numerous C programs which will either fail to compile or will 
give different results when a C++ compiler is applied to them.

Often C++ requires what in C is bad and unidiomatic coding style.  This 
is in part because BS enforced his version of "good" coding, but more 
because the syntax and semantics of C++ becomes hopelessly confused when 
confronted with normal C.
