None of the safety issues brought up about C there are solved by C++. C++ is (nearly) a superset of C, so it inherits all of those issues.

  If C++ is "(nearly) a superset of C" why is the C++ standard twice the size of C standard? Of course if we take that 0.505.. ≈ 1, then it is indeed a (nearly) superset.

    That's nearly as in "most of C's features are supported by C++", not "most of C++'s features are C features".

    It is only nearly a superset because it contains all the features of C except for a few like implicit pointer casts.
