C/C++ existence confirmed

If you happen to ever title a StackOverlow question something like "How do I do (whatever) in C/C++", then I guarantee within a few short minutes someone will say "Which language? There is no such thing as C/C++.". I don't suggest arguing with them unless you like downvotes. That said--the C/C++ language does exist, and I'm probably one of the few people who sometimes studies it

#ifdef __cplusplus

A C compiler is free to define that and a C++ compiler is free(?) not to define that.

No, I am not. I am simply stating facts.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as C++, is in fact, C/C++, or as I've recently taken to calling it, See plus See plus plus. C++ is not an programming language unto itself, but rather another component of a fully functioning C/C++ system made useful by the C corelibs, stdio.h utilities and vital system components comprising a full C/C++ programming language as defined by the ISO/IEC 14882 standard.

extern "C"{
//C/C++ exists because C is compatible with C++.

}

Double-plus Good, no-plus Bad.

If a C codebase uses raw pointers for an abstraction that you would like to compile differently in C++, the way pointers are declared has to change.

Why the fuck would anyone ever want that? Stop mixing two obviously incompatible languages, holy shit. This isn't hard you mental midgets.

"C/C++" is used to show hostility towards both C and C++ in a passive-agressive manner.
