I have a file, say test.c and I want to compile is and I happen to look and
it appears to be compiled like a C++ file.
So does it matter is the file extension where to written as test.cpp
I'm not sure I understand your question, but my guess is you want to
know if source code will be compiled differently based upon the
filename being changed from test.c -> test.cpp (or vice versa).
Several compilers I've used on various platforms will change their
compilation behavior based upon that. Source files with a .cpp
"extension" in those environments will compile as if the code is C++,
even if that is not your original intent.
IIRC there is nothing in the C standard that describes that behavior.
