+<h3 class="section">3.3 Compiling C++ Programs</h3>
+
+<a name="index-suffixes-for-C_002b_002b-source"></a>
+<a name="index-C_002b_002b-source-file-suffixes"></a>
+<p>C++ source files conventionally use one of the suffixes &lsquo;<samp>.C</samp>&rsquo;,
+&lsquo;<samp>.cc</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>.cpp</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>.CPP</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>.c++</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>.cp</samp>&rsquo;, or
+&lsquo;<samp>.cxx</samp>&rsquo;; C++ header files often use &lsquo;<samp>.hh</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>.hpp</samp>&rsquo;,
+&lsquo;<samp>.H</samp>&rsquo;, or (for shared template code) &lsquo;<samp>.tcc</samp>&rsquo;; and
+preprocessed C++ files use the suffix &lsquo;<samp>.ii</samp>&rsquo;. GCC recognizes
+files with these names and compiles them as C++ programs even if you
+call the compiler the same way as for compiling C programs (usually
+with the name <code>gcc</code>).
+</p>
+<a name="index-g_002b_002b"></a>
+<a name="index-c_002b_002b"></a>
+<p>However, the use of <code>gcc</code> does not add the C++ library.
+<code>g++</code> is a program that calls GCC and automatically specifies linking
+against the C++ library. It treats &lsquo;<samp>.c</samp>&rsquo;,
+&lsquo;<samp>.h</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>.i</samp>&rsquo; files as C++ source files instead of C source
+files unless <samp>-x</samp> is used. This program is also useful when
+precompiling a C header file with a &lsquo;<samp>.h</samp>&rsquo; extension for use in C++
+compilations. On many systems, <code>g++</code> is also installed with
+the name <code>c++</code>.
+</p>
+<a name="index-invoking-g_002b_002b"></a>
+<p>When you compile C++ programs, you may specify many of the same
+command-line options that you use for compiling programs in any
+language; or command-line options meaningful for C and related
+languages; or options that are meaningful only for C++ programs.
+See <a href="C-Dialect-Options.html#C-Dialect-Options">Options Controlling C Dialect</a>, for
+explanations of options for languages related to C.
+See <a href="C_002b_002b-Dialect-Options.html#C_002b_002b-Dialect-Options">Options Controlling C++ Dialect</a>, for
+explanations of options that are meaningful only for C++ programs.
