When creating a project in AVR Studio 5, it creates a .c file with following content:
#include <avr/io.h>
int main(void)
{
while(1)
{
//TODO:: Please write your application code
}
}
Building this C program works just fine:

But when I change the file extension to .cpp, the build issues the warning device type not defined (which will turn into an error if trying to use any AVR specific register):

Comparing the both outputs shows that for the C-code it adds the option -mmcu=atmega328p to avr-gcc.exe but for the C++-code it doesn’t when executing avr-g++.exe. Similar problem I have when using WinAVR. How to solve this?
I’ve found one workaround: rename all
.cppfiles to.cand define following compiler options:-x c++ -std=gnu++98.
