The intended use of headers of form xxx.h is for interoperability only. It is possible that C++ source files need to include one of these headers in order to be valid ISO C. Source files that are not intended to also be valid ISO C should not use any of the C headers.
With the exception of complex.h, each xxx.h header included in the C++ standard library places in the global namespace each name that the corresponding cxxx header would have placed in the std namespace.
These headers are allowed to also declare the same names in the std namespace, and the corresponding cxxx headers are allowed to also declare the same names in the global namespace: including <cstdlib> definitely provides std::malloc and may also provide ::malloc. Including <stdlib.h> definitely provides ::malloc and may also provide std::malloc. This applies even to functions and function overloads that are not part of C standard library.
Notes: xxx.h headers are deprecated in C++98 and undeprecated in C++23. These headers are discouraged for pure C++ code, but not subject to future removal.
The headers <stdatomic.h>, <stdbit.h>, and <stdckdint.h> declare names which are also provided in the C standard library. The header <stdatomic.h> also defines the _Atomic macro which is a keyword in C. Unlike other <xxx.h> headers, corresponding <cstdatomic>, <cstdbit>, and <cstdckdint> are not provided.
_Atomic and provides corresponding components in the C standard library[edit] Provides corresponding components in the C standard library[edit] Provides corresponding components in the C standard library[edit] [edit]
The headers <complex.h>, <ccomplex>, <tgmath.h>, and <ctgmath> do not contain any content from the C standard library and instead merely include other headers from the C++ standard library.
[edit]The headers <ciso646>, <cstdalign>, and <cstdbool> are meaningless in C++ because the macros they provide in C are language keywords in C++.
[edit]The C headers <stdatomic.h>,(until C++23) <stdnoreturn.h>, and <threads.h> are not included in C++ and have no cxxx equivalents.
C++ TR's/TS's also define several collections of headers.
