If you just need C instead of C++ then .m suffices, ojective-c is a strict superset of C.

  It‘s a superset of ANSI-C. One needs to be carful to mention this. I‘m not aware that this had changed and also added some small grieve back in the days for me. But I sadly can‘t remember anymore what didn‘t work for me.

    I'd be curious if you can remember what differences there were. It's compatible with all C99 and C11 syntax I've tried
    • larusso 2y ago
      I think it was specifically in .m files. Obj-c is using ANSI-C (c89) which lacks certain features and keywords. Mixing with c99 files is of course possible. Maybe that was also an issue in older versions of clang.

        I haven't run into such issues intermingling C11 features in a .m file. Possibly you just needed to set the right compiler flags, or it was a bug in older versions of clang.

          Could be. My obj-c days are long over though. The time I worked with was between 2009 and 2015.
