Or...

You can put the following line at the top of each C++ source file:

// This may look like C code, but it is really -*- C++ -*-

or just

// -*- C++ -*-

Typing "C-c TAB" in c++-mode adds the former to the top of the file.

This looks a little grungy, but the nice thing about it is anyone who
has C++ mode available to them will get C++ mode whenever they edit
the file, no matter whether it's called. file.c, file.cc, file.C,
file.h, or anything will work if it has that line at the top.

I have to admit, C++ mode, "compile", and gdb within emacs are what
got me usuing emacs. It makes writing software so much faster and
easier... gives one that giddy hacker "I just saved myself huge
amounts of time." feeling.

So when is GNU going to do a C interpreter? Saber C needs some
competition :).
