Problem C++ reserved words

[Mihnea Balta]

How could it compile those lines? C++ knows that "operator" has a certain 
semantic meaning... it can't act like it doesn't know what "operator" is.

Try compiling C sources with a C compiler, produce object files, and link with 
the C++-compiled code. Or, change your C code (search&replace operator for 
_operator, or something).
