There exist many programs that can compile either C code and C++ code,
depending either upon the extension of the file name or explicit command
line options to determine which language's rules to apply.
But note that the *nix tradition is for the “cc” command to invoke nothing
more than a “driver” program, which processes each input file according to
its extension by spawning additional processes running the actual file-
specific processors. And these processors include the linker, for
combining object files created by the various compilers into an actual
executable (or perhaps a shared library).
