As someone designing component libraries for both Ada and C++ I would say
that the C++'s type system is far behind Ada. Though C++ has some
substantial and evident advantages over Ada, e.g. proper constructors,
proper MI, partial inheritance from concrete types, that does not pay off,
because the rest is too bad.
At least to me, it is impossible to achieve consistency and clearness of
design any close to what can be done in Ada. Looking at C++ class libraries
designed by other people assures me that I am not alone.

Stack/heap allocation refer to a memory management policy rather than
physical location. This boundary is very sharp: the stack policy presumes
two important constraints: 1. LIFO ordering, 2. Ownership by the task.
