Of course not. cpp is the c preprocessor, the program that expands all the #ifdefs #includes etc. It's basically a macro expander, very specific to C. It doesn't know anything about the C language or compilation or objects or linkage or anything else. It's a front end program, and you shouldn't be calling it with -c or any of the compiler options. If you want the c++ compiler you need c++ or g++ or some such. It's damn confusing, since c++ files end in the extension .cpp, but no, that doesn't mean you should call cpp on them. And I don't think any of tidy is c++, so that's even more confusing. Karl Dahlke
