Bad things about C++

Name: Anonymous 2007-02-09 4:03

Since the python thread was a smashing success, it's only logical to have a C++ equivalent. So list the bad things about C++. Constructive thread, please. I will get the ball rolling:

 * Segment faults.
 * Broken standard library.
 * One word, the forced indentation of code. Thread over.
 * Broken templates.

Features such as templates, operator overloading, no garbage collection, no complex base types as part of the language (string etc.) are what make the language good.
With the exclusion of operator overloading, the above is a list of abject language failure. While I can even overlook templates, template metaprogramming is glaring evidence how utterly fucked up and weak C++ really it.

I've become convinced that anybody arguing in favour of C++ as a language is an ignorant masochist. About the only thing I can say in favour of C++ is that it has deterministic finalization and multiple inheritance.
