And, of course, the real difference is that the first compiles straight

the C++ optimizers and warnings are better for the C++ mode of my
compilers than the C mode.

Fortran compilers are usually even better than that. Obviously
you should write your C code so that it compiles with Fortran compilers.

Or use IBM's PL/1 checkout compiler. It will give you lots of
warnings, but will probably translate your code into PL/1 as a bonus.
