Can any C program be compiled with the C++ compiler and obtain a useful executable?

Thanks for reminding me why I don't use the codeguru forums anymore.

If I am incorrect about my question, then I apologize. I truly believe that the answers being provided here are not accurate, but I won't dwell on that. I will simply agree to disagree.

Are you just trolling or something? If you think we're wrong how about telling us why you think we're wrong so that we can actually have a discussion, instead of making snide comments because we aren't giving the answer you want to hear.

Criticisms such as that are best ignored. They do not contribute to meaningful discussion. It is comments such as that that make codeguru less useful.

You especially need to be careful about calling people a troll. That word has much more emotional significance than factual, and has a clear negative connotation. The negative significance of that word can easily start flame wars. It is language such as that that cause me to avoid further participation here.

I hope you realize the irony in criticizing a criticism instead of simply addressing it.
