The Clean C dialect is that subset of ANSI C that is compatible with the C++ language. Writing Clean C requires imposing coding conventions to the C code that restrict use to features that are acceptable to a C++ compiler. This section provides a summary of some of the more pertinent points to be considered.
Clean C is a term coined in Harbison & Steele book (C: A Reference Manual, Prentice Hall). A program is said to be written in Clean C if it can be compiled by a standard C compiler and a standard C++ compiler; and its execution would not produce different observable behavior from the two compilers (the issues of optimizations being irrelevant).
