It must be a bug. If it process them as a C++ files, it must compile them as C++. Similarly, if gcc preprocess files as C files, one would expect it to compile it as C programs with appropriate semantics. Otherwise it would lead to inconsistent semantics that the preprocessor processes as language X and the front-end processes as language Y. -- Gaby
