How can I stop compilation of my code if the compiler is not a c++ compiler?

C++ compiler inherently defines a macro named __cplusplus. Sometimes it is necessary to prevent the user from compiling the C code using C++ compiler. We can do that by giving an error message during compilation using the following statement:

#ifndef __cplusplus
#error "Please compile with C compiler only"
#endif
