This would be better asked on the GCC list :-p
I believe this is in the gcc FAQ. However, it's been asked often enough
on this list, so here's an answer for the archives:
gcc uses the file extension to determine the language. Any extension it
doesn't recognize is assumed to be a C file. The default extension for a
C++ file is ".C". gcc does not recognize ".cxx", which is used by
Microsoft compilers, I think. It is, of course, possible to tell gcc to
treat a ".cxx" file as a C++ file. In case you don't want to mess with
the gcc configuration, use either the "-x c++" option of gcc, or simply
call g++.

It took the computational power of three Commodore 64s to fly to the moon.
It takes a 486 to run Windows 95. Something is wrong here. -- SC sig file
