The question is not appropriate for the mailing list gcc@gcc.gnu.org.
It is appropriate for gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org.  Please take any followups
to gcc-help.  Thanks.

There is no particular reason to use gcc instead of g++.  If you really
want to do so, there are two easy ways: 1) name your files with an
extension of .cc rather than .c; 2) use the -x c++ option.  Note that if
you link with gcc, you will need to explicitly use -lstdc++.
