> There isn't anyone pointing a gun to someone's head forcing them to using 100% of all C++ features in every single project. Tell me how to use C++, without using RAII. You can't. Not being able to automatically allocate without also invoking the constructor is what I dislike the most in C++. Other things are, that you can never be sure, what a function call really does, because dynamic dispatch or output parameters aren't required to be explicit. > I hold this point of view since 1993, having used C instead of C++ was only when obliged to deliver my work in C, due to delivery requirements where my opinion wasn't worth anything to the decision makers. https://floooh.github.io/2019/09/27/modern-c-for-cpp-peeps.html https://floooh.github.io/2019/09/27/modern-c-for-cpp-peeps.h... C isn't ANSI C anymore!
