Or the code should be usable with both C and C++.

Continuing with your off-topic statement, for which there is no excuse.
Idiomatic C Code is "usable with both C and C++." C++ has defined
methods for linking C code written without regard to C++ arcane
requirements, so there is never a reason to pervert the normal C idiom
to "be usable with both C and C++." I thought we lost the trolls that
kept beating this horse.
I think you dropped a "not", i.e., Idiomatic C Code is *not*
"usable with both C and C++."

I did not drop a "not". For the C++ mechanism for linking to pure
idiomatic C, go to the correct newsgroup, <news:comp.lang.c++>. Why
in the world you thought I dropped a "not" is between you and your God.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought that you meant to say that
idiomatic C code is not valid C++ code. It should have been clear to
me from the context that C code is *usable* by C++ code via C++'s
interfacing mechanism.

(And perhaps you could have pointed out my error without getting quite
so personal about it.)
