This is not true, the two languages have diverged: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compatibility_of_C_and_C%2B%2B

You are right, they have diverged. However my initial statement was/is true, as C++ started as a subset of C (even though the two are totally incompatible for all non-trivial programs today).

No it's not. You're confusing superset and subset.
