Yes, you should use gcc to compile C++ code as well, and you should name 
your file *.cc or *.cpp or *.cxx (check out the FAQ list in faq102.zip 
for the list of the extensions).  Gcc uses the filename extension to 
decide what program (cc1.exe or cc1plus.exe) to invoke to parse the 
source file.  You can also use the ``-x c++'' switch to gcc to tell it 
that's C++ source.
