Unless overridden with settings, both the MS compiler and gcc will use
the file extension to determine if it should be compiled as C or C++.
In this case it thinks it is a C++ file and won't compile.

Obviously on whatever system this was tested on, the compiler must have
been set to compile in C mode because if you just do "gcc somefile.cpp"
it will compile in C++ mode.

Not sure why a C file would have a ".cpp" extension?
