Since C is an almost complete subset of C++, most C statements are valid C++ and your niffty C++ code probably uses quite some elements from that subset. The anonymous poster is right in saying that producing insecure C++ code is very easy. Of course you can always compensate this insecurity by using strict conventions, but this is possible in C as well. Bashing some project just because it is developed using a certain language is quite unhelpful to say the least. Remember your trustworthy Linux kernel is C code as well and even the C++ based KDE had security issues in the past. That being said I consider myself a C++ programmer but not the kind of language fascist that you seem to be.

I cant agree with this. It not the existing features that make C bad (outdated) its the missing ones! You can use better programming strategies that dont exist in C.

And I wouldn't really call the linux kernel trustworthy...
