Hi.

Generally, if you want to compile a C++ program, just use g++.

Albeit gcc will determine the language from the file extension
(e.g. .C .cpp .cc .c++ for C++) it will not link with the necessary
standard C++ library libstdc++ and hence it will usually fail.

Compiling C programs with gcc should work fine.
