that's unwise and not going to serve you well in the long run. I very much advise against not renaming files converted from C to C++. While it can be done, this is very likely to lead to a fragile setup that's gonna encounter lots of bugs in edge cases. Don't do this, rename your converted files instead.
If you absolutely have to, consider creating dummy C++ files that #include the corresponding .c file.
C and C++ are sufficiently different languages today that having your tools make the correct assumptions is crucial. Don't trust random debuggers/profilers/IDEs/whatever to figure this out.
