C/C++ sources compiled with MINGW(DevCPP) as C++

[Jose Garcia]

Hi...

I am wrinting a win32-aplicattion that not uses classes.
I use stdio.h and iostream for example, and, the operators new & delete
for memory.

Then... Is "licit" to mix c & c++ code, compiled as c++, without OOP ??

Or.. maybe i have to translate to only C code and forget "cout <<",
new, delete, etc... if I not use objectes and classes?

By the way, another question. If The project is in c++ option setting,
the extensions of the sources are created as *.cpp and the default
compiler is g++.exe. If the project option language is C, is the
gcc.exe the default compiler... thats right I suppose... So... Why not
use g++.exe for *.cpp and *.c ??

Txs!!

Because C and C++ are diffrent languages and sometimes incompatible.
