It's not dangerous -- it's a mistake. It's like putting strawberries in with salmon on a salad: ostensibly it's good, but it's wrong. :D C and C++ are really different languages these days. They share some syntax, but the ABIs and underpinnings of each are radically different. Their relationship these days is that of an estranged cousin: you are familiar with how it looks, but it is really not at all what it looks like anymore. Once the two languages shared dressing styles, but now, C++ has all these rebel < and > in places it should'nt. :)
