#5014 — Why C++ is vastly superior to C

Why C++ is vastly superior to C:
     http://warp.povusers.org/programming/cplusplus_superior_to_c.html

"In conclusion, the reason why C is so vastly inferior to C++ as
described in this article can be summarized with one single sentence:
C has no support for RAII nor templates, while C++ does. That's two
of the most important features that make C++ by far the superior
language."

the main thing is the object oriented approach, i guess. Also many improved 
version of functions

Quite so. Another "most important" feature was parting with "locals at block 
start", but it got into C99 in the mantime.  (too bad that real-world C is 
still at C90, a decade+ after the last revision, and massive projects still 
stick to that old known bug generator. :( )

What do you mean by "real-world C is still at C90"?

C99 compilers are by no means universal.  A lot of embedded (the 
majority of C projects) projects are still stuck with C90 tools.

You can live without templates, it's the least important feature
of C++ and people constantly over/misuse it. Most important feature
is class programming: instances, encapsulation and inheritance,
the OOP basics.

I disagree; generic programming is just as important as object oriented 
programming.

+1.

Encapsulation can be done well in C. Just like the FILE* in C library.
You know nothing about it but the functions ("methods") with what you
can manipulate one. Similarly abstract interfaces and polymorphism can
be implemented in C with function pointers. There is some semantic
overhead but that can be reduced with macros. It is easy to write
small quick programs in pure C.

C++ however scales well. Templates in interface simplify integration
of your code with a library by huge margin. The big legacy C++
libraries have gradually increased presence of templates in their
interface. In boost and in Loki the templates are sometimes overused
but that is because the authors were curious and like to explore the
possibilities.

RAII is great way to reduce the need for garbage collection. Being
careful you create no garbage. The usual garbage collection takes care
of least important resource ... the memory. I have started to hate
Windows lately because some of the garbage collected crap has left
files open and so i can't delete those without closing all the
applications. Also the applications start back up slowly like snails.

Agreed. Generic programming is at least as important and much more
unique to C++ (relative to C) than OOP. Although, I would say that
the C++ automatic constructor/destructor paradigm (which was a C++
innovation as far as I know?) is also extremely valuable. Function
overloading was also a major advance over traditional C.

  Function overloading is especially important in generic programming.
In fact, many of the things that C++ adds compared to C are valuable
(if not even mandatory) for generic programming.

Side-effect of what? Which languages do you know of that
had automatic deterministic destructors prior to C++?

Built-in types don't have destructors, do they?

You're missing the point. To endow user-defined types (UDTs) with 
reasonable lifetime semantics, some kind of setup/teardown construct(s) 
are required. Constructors/destructors are more like a discovery than an 
invention.

Presuming that you would agree C structs have "reasonable lifetime
semantics" and that they have no destructors, it seems to me quite
a stretch to say destructors were a "discovery".

Anyhow, whether they were a "discovery" or "innovation", C does not
have user defined automatic constructors/destructors. C++ does. And
to me that was a significant advance. One that proved more powerful
and useful than I'm guessing was even realized at the time.

On "presumption", yeah, I'm gonna write a book about that, "soon". Maybe 
I'll call it "C++ Gotchas", or something. Yeah, I'm gonna write that one. 
Maybe you are one of Eric Weis's minions? (Oh yeah, he got me "fair and 
square"). (For "the record": I don't hate him).

I would "agree" (I think you will agree to this), that you should not get 
in my face and tell me what "would agree" upon. (Read: get the fuck out 
of my face, punk, I'm not your father).

I'm a "language designer", in the sense that the "prevailing sense" makes 
no sense at all and I do it better. So I can't banter here with y'all 
language-lawyer-wannabes. You will live, you will die. You will have some 
span in between those 2 things. Those who want to establish a SUCK 3rd 
position, suck.

You don't know "advance". "Youth is wasted on the young".  Why don't you 
go vote. I mean, fine. Vote. And while you are their, raise their flag 
(high). OOPs, the "FLAG", surely you know it. "Pledge of Allegience", 
recite now, so your computer file can be updated.

Test (note that willing participant who "answers", will be held liable 
for his "freedom of speech"):

What is a flag?

Is a flag rape?

Should flags be burned?

Do you feel raped by a flag?

Do you feel you will be draped by a flag?

Do flags rape?

In C they have neither constructors nor destructors. They begin
life uninitialized (disregarding zero initialization of statics
which is a different matter) and they meet a silent trivial end.

  I disagree.

  Encapsulation and instantiation are extremely important, yes, but you
can achieve that to a certain degree in C as well. Access rights might
not be enforced by the language (except on the compilation unit level),
but you can achieve this to a certain degree by agreement (iow. "don't
touch anything inside this struct"). Yes, this is not perfect, but it's
not catastrophical either. This is not the main reason why C is inferior
to C++.

  Inheritance is useful in some situations, but it's far less useful than
was thought at the height of the OOP craze in the 90's. It definitely has
its uses, but it has its shortcomings as well. It is an important feature,
but I would certainly not rank it higher than RAII and templates.

  As for templates, I fully disagree: A C++ without templates would be
almost as horrible as C is. (RAII would still make it by far superior,
but the lack of templates would be a huge setback nevertheless.)

  If you can live without templates, how would you implement the last
challenge in the article (iow. making the example Matrix class generic,
to support any numerical type, including those which do not behave like
basic types)?

  On the same note, how would you make generic data containers and
algorithms which are as efficient as possible? (Note their prominent
absence in standard C; there's a reason for that.) Other programming
languages manage by other means, but they often suffer from poorer
efficiency (especially in the memory consumption department, sometimes
also in the speed one).
