I think that's what Kent means should be done.

Just a little note though. Although gcc will usually
dispatch C or C++ sources to the right compiler based
on their file extension or something, be aware that
a C++ compiler and a C compiler is not the same thing,
even when operating on the same source code.

One basic example is

  void foo(int a, int b);

which is not the same signature in C and C++
(arguments get the opposite ordering).
That's one of the reasons C declarations in C++ code
needs to be wrapped in 'extern "C" { /* declarations */ }'.
