I've just completed the final revision of my document entitled:

    "Incompatibilities Between ISO C and ISO C++"

which is available at its permanent web address:

    <http://david.tribble.com/text/cdiffs.htm>

This document lists the incompatibilities between ISO C99 and C++98
(also known as ISO/IEC 9899-1999 and ISO/IEC 14882-1998, respectively)
and how to deal with them when writing code meant to be compiled as
both C and C++.

Thanks to everyone who contributed corrections and additions, both
major and minor, to the draft revisions.  It's been a long time coming,
but I hope people find it useful and worthwhile.

My hope is that future editions of ISO C and ISO C++ will make such a
list smaller and less necessary.

Enjoy.
