This is off-topic, but ...

I'm sure the C++ compiler implements C++'s complex type.  Does it
support C99 complex types when invoked as a C compiler?  They're
defined quite differently; they have to be, since standard C doesn't
have operator overloading.

Here's a test case, a complete translation unit that should compile
without error with a conforming C99 compiler:

double _Complex new;

C and C++ are two different languages.
