If C gets operator overloading and RAII, there will be no good reason to use C++ for me!!

  Is RAII in C a serious suggestion being made anywhere?

    GCC has it as an extension. See the cleanup attribute: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attribute...

    It is meaningless without destructors and exceptions.

  Only operator overloading is really important and would cut down the size of code written substantially. Thats the only real advantage of using C++ vs C. Everything else oop, function overloading,RAII,etc can be replaced with macros and structs.

    Pretty sure you can't make destructors with macros?
