It's not entirely clear from the above what's going on, but my
interpretation is that he had C++ code that he wanted to move to C, and
also had some questions about a desired modification of the code. He
tried to translate it to C code, but forgot a couple of things that
should have been changed. The remaining C++ features of the code are
just a mistake, they do not indicate a desire to use C++ to compile this
code. The modification he wants to perform presents pretty much the same
issues in C++ as it does in C; it's merely a coincidence that he's
asking about this modification at the same time he decided to change
languages.

If I'm right, and he is looking for a solution that can be compiled by a
conforming C compiler, why is this NOT the right place for him to ask
such questions? It's not clear why he decided to switch from C++ to C,
but you're surely not hostile to the idea that he might have had a good
reason for doing so, are you?
