I don't think so.  C++ is not a direct superset of ANSI C - there are
a number of small incompatibilities.

Here's a fragment from an ANSI C program which won't work in C++:

typedef struct buddy {
   struct buddy *next;
   int age;
} friend;

typedef struct room {
   struct room *next;
   int chairs;
} class;
