Is there a difference between a "module" and a "compilation unit" ?
That depends on who does the defining, no?
Yes.
The C standards define the term "translation unit". They do not
define either "compilation unit" or "module". Thus, this newsgroup
(comp.lang.c) cannot give you a definitive answer to the question.

Although programming has the concept of modules, C generally doesn't.
There is no immediate way to share objects with external linkage
