In the system I am writting I have found that I am duplicating a lot of effort in implmenting the same type of data strcuture for different uses. I have been considering using C++ to write some generic packages that I can use in my system. My question is what price does one pay for using C++? In particular, what runtime support is required by most modern C++ implementations? Any? If so, how can I minimize this? Charles Fineman Carnegie-Mellon University cef@h.cs.cmu.edu (via seismo)

We have found two principle disadvantages of using C++ over C. 1) The C++ features not present in C still have serious bugs. 2) Symbolic debuggers do not work well on C++ generated code.
