Ok, that makes sense, but if it were only the library that determines what's 
there, TCC might compile C++. As it doesn't I assume it's not just the library 
that determines this.
(That remark is based in my possibly erroneous assumption that C++ is a kind of 
superset of C with a lot more dedicated functions).
In short, doesn't the compiler have to 'understand' what it's compiling?
