What does
  gcc -x c file.C
do - C or C++ compilation?

gcc isn't a compiler, it's a suite of compilers, it makes a stab what
to compile as using the filename's suffix. It can also compile FORTRAN and
Ada. More than that, it can also compile stdin too which doesn't even have
the concept of an actual filename.
