Was the right answer ... > gcc is a plain c compiler. ... but this is wrong. Gcc determines from the file suffic which language applies .cpp -> c++ .c -> C and so on. Calling it as g++ vs. calling it as gcc though determines which runtimes are linked automatically (and partly which include paths are set). gcc -o x x.cpp -lstdc++ works perfectly with the OPs program. I imagine the use of that is being able to compile with gcc to object code reagrdless of the language involved, then linking within a special runtime model, even if object files from multiple languages are being linked together.
