I concur with Jonathan's implication that gcc is far more standard
conforming for C++ than it is for C. The gcc maintainers have shifted
their general attitude about language extensions over time, but it's
hard to remove the existing C extensions as they are widely used. There
were never very many C++ extensions, and I believe the ones which remain
are useful and are clearly demarked by double underscores.
