Compatability between C/C++ compilers?

I'm wondering whether C source code can be compiled in a C++ compiler, or do you have to use a C compiler.





Also, does anyone have any recommendations on a good C compiler?


Thanks!!

They are usually compatible if you stick to ANSI C/C++ coding. A good compile is the free gnu C/C++ compiler. This is a well documented stable compiler that runs on windows, linux etc..
Reply:I wrote numerous programs using Watcom C/C++, now free:

Most compile with .C and .CPP names.
