What specific examples do you have in mind where you would get a useful warning with a C++ compiler that you can not also get for C with gcc?

It had to do with the lack of helpful warning/error messages while porting over a C project. Switching out for libstdc++ was helpful in narrowing the scope of where to look for the issue, and a better idea of the failure mode.

Given the Sealioning problem on YC, trying to remember an edge case issue from years ago would not go well. If your work habits aren't pushing into the compiler standards gray areas, than one probably won't ever encounter such issues. ymmv =3
