Is current C++ still upwards-compatible with current C? I know that was a major selling point 30 years ago ... but is it still?

Is current C++ still upwards-compatible with current C?

- pjmlp 4y agoPartially, there have been some slight improvements on the language level, like initializers in C++20, and adoption of several C standard library functions up to C17. That selling point isn't only integrating with existing C code, rather how many want to actually use the language, that is why there is an Orthodox C++ movement, that basically advocates to keep using C++ as if stuck in "C with Classes" CFront days.
