C++ is a "better C" but not a full OO-language. C++ is an OO-language that
 offers a lot of flexibility. To much flexibility and to
much pointers (to much C) to lead to quality software and productivity.
 I would rather be interested in comparing a _real_ 
 "full OO-language" as  EIFFEL vs. ADA.

A book that addresses such issues as productivity, reuseability and
 maintenance is "Object-oriented software construction" 
                 from Meyer B. 
                 Prentice Hall 1988
It compares fetures of ADA and EIFFEL (exception handling, modularisation atc.)
