Usually, but not always. For example the following is legal in C, but illegal in C++:
char new [3] = "ABC";
Notepad++ is a text editor, not a compiler. You can however, enter source code into Notepad++ and then compile it with a compiler such as GCC.
Yes we can compile a c program using c++ compiler. Because c++ evolved from the c. c++ have some additional features beyond c. c++ support almost all concepts used in c.
C++ programs won't compile if they contain compiler errors. The compiler will tell you precisely where the error is, and the type of error, unless the error is in a macro. The compiler cannot see macro definitions because they are inline expanded prior to compilation.
Every languages are different, a C++ compiler cannot compile a Java source.
Yes, if you have an ANSI C++ compiler. Most modern compilers are ANSI, and are capable of suppressing non-ANSI code, using a compiler option.
To find math.h, simply include it ... #include <math.h> ... The compiler knows where the standard libraries are. This is a function of where the compiler is installed, and varies from system to system. By using the carets (< and >) you are telling the compiler to look in the "standard" places.
Just build it with F7, or execute it with F5/F5. The MS VS Compiler understands the difference between C and C++. You can name the source file as something.C, if you want.
C++ compiler, obviously, a C compiler won't do.
Netbeans is primarily a code editor and Java compiler. Although it supports the C++ language, it has no C++ compiler or linker. For that you must provide your own.
With the aid of a diagram,illustrate how the c plus plus compiler works?
Yes, but you must tell the compiler that the code is C otherwise it will be treated as if it were C++, which could lead to subtle runtime errors where the languages contain "silent differences", or compilation errors where valid C code would be invalid in C++.Although you can mix C and C++ code in the same source, it makes sense to use separate translation units for each. Thus, when a header contains C code, you can include that header in a C++ program using the following construct:extern "C"{#include "c_header.h"}Everything between the opening and closing braces will be treated as C code and will be compiled as such.
Yes. In fact both the C++ compiler and the linker are intrinsically command-driven; the IDE (if you have one) simply provides a graphical front-end to both. Consult your compiler/linker documentation to view the required command line syntax. In particular, consult the 'makefile' topic which should show you how to create a command file (or batch file) that can automate the entire process for a particular project.
