However, C++ programs often require class libraries as well as a
compiler that understands the C++ language---and under some
circumstances, you might want to compile programs or header files from
standard input, or otherwise without a suffix that flags them as C++
programs. You might also like to precompile a C header file with a
@samp{.h} extension to be used in C++ compilations. @command{g++} is a
program that calls GCC with the default language set to C++, and
automatically specifies linking against the C++ library. On many
systems, @command{g++} is also installed with the name @command{c++}.
However, the use of @command{gcc} does not add the C++ library.
@command{g++} is a program that calls GCC and treats @samp{.c},
@samp{.h} and @samp{.i} files as C++ source files instead of C source
files unless @option{-x} is used, and automatically specifies linking
against the C++ library. This is also useful when precompiling a C
header file with a @samp{.h} extension for use in C++ compilations.
On many systems, @command{g++} is also installed with the name
@command{c++}.
