IME threads that start off being cross-posted to c.l.c and c.l.c++ usually generate more pointless and/or off-topic discussion than would have occurred if the original posting had been made separately to the individual newsgroups (often called multi-posting). So I for one am happy to see that this question was posted separately rather than being cross-posted.
