But are compiled as different languages, C++ does NOT implicitly
declare ``int strlen (...)''.

For the same reason.

Same reason.

the above errors are NOT linking errors, too.

Adding ``#include <string.h>'' or ``#include <cstring>'' fixes the
above compilations.

Also, you should link C++ programs with the C++ compiler driver
``c++'' (or ``g++'') or, alternatively, specify the C++ libraries,
i.e., either

c++ -o xx jnc.cpp

or

gcc -o xx jnc.cpp -lstdc++
