Indeed, but my personal experience is with small embedded hard real-time
systems. In such a problem domain the above statement I feel holds true.

The use of C++ without dynamically allocated classes will obviously provide
extra featues over C. The issue as to whether it is better to use a
'crippled' C++ is a question of debate and will surely depend on the problem
to be solved and the calibre and organisation of the team of programmers
working on it. In my experience, the restriction of language features in a
project is difficult to control.

I agree my original statement was somewhat inflamatory though <abashed

The comment I made was to pick up on the use of the term subset. Your quote
above qualifies the statement perfectly and it is perhaps a pity it was not
included in the originally post :-)

Agreed, any C program that would not compile with minimal changes under C++
would be one that I would not be over proud of!

Finally, It was never my intention to denigrate your efforts in the
development of the C++ language, rather I wished to emphasise that there is
a spectrum of tools and a spectrum of problems. Not all tools fit best
against all problems. Unfortunately, there seems to be a bit of 'If the only
tool in the toolbox is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail' in the
choice of languages for a project.
