Options Controlling C Dialect

   The following options control the dialect of C (or languages derived
   from C, such as C++, Objective-C and Objective-C++) that the

compiler accepts:
   -ansi
       In C mode, support all ISO C90 programs.  In C++ mode, remove

GNU extensions that conflict with ISO C++.
This is what I was in referance to. I wonder what C Dialect Windows

uses?
This is different to what you original said, to quote "Do recall that there 
are many basic types of C++ and you need to let them know which to use"
i.e. you are suggesting there are different types of "C++" - As far as I am 
considered this in incorrect.
C,  C++, Objective-C and Objective-C++ are all *different" languages in 
themselves. They may share some common heritage in C or C++, but they are not 
the same language in a strict sense.
( Its the same as American English being very similar to English (British), 
but not being the same, far from it ;) )
