Au contraire, a modern C++ developer probably knows nothing about C. Good C is like good assembly language: dense and performance-obsessed. No objects, no exceptions, no STL, bare bones and riddled with pointer manipulation and macros.

No objects = no structs?

  There are structs in C, as well as unions, but they are data only - no methods.

    Well, function pointers exist in C, though they are certainly a clumsy replacement for having methods (or first-class functions / closures / currying) built into the language.
