C lets you do anything you want, the documentation tells you exactly
what to expect if you do. If you do something that's documented as
undefined, you have no room to complain.

C and C++ are different languages, one with roots in the other but has
diverged significantly since then. It's trivial to write a legal C
program that cannot be compiled as legal C++.

tools of his craft.
