Thank you for pointing out that this is not an issue in C++, only in C. There are times when we need C and one can write C code and compile it with a C++ compiler. It's an option to help ease people to modern, idiomatic C++, but please don't lump the two together. C and C++ are two entirely different languages and C++ is much safer.
