And I am talking about compiling *C* code with *C++* compiler.

This is an extremely silly thing to do. The languages are
different. A C compiler compiles C source, while a C++ compiler
compiles C++ source. There is one regular user of this newsgroup
who follows that practice, because he deals with idiots who do not
know the difference, and the ability avoids support problems
explaining their idiocy in dulcet and inoffensive tones, thus
improving his standard of living.
