I didn't say it was difficult. It's easy. It's also silly. Why should I worry all the time about such adaptation? How many languages do you want me to support? C++ is an *incompatible* extension of C. Extension yes, compatible, no. > It is a lot more difficult for C++ parser to accomodate > non-portable C code.

I think "proper C code" means "C code that works well on C compilers". > This is just my 2 cents, but this opinion is quite popular amonst > coders and most source that doesn't do this, like cthreads, is > simply not and if not fixed, it is replaced by more compatible > libraries like pthreads. pthreads is much better than cthreads. But not because the header files might avoid certain legal variable names.
