Sepples

Recently I've used C to code a project using SDL, and I think that if I were to start a serious, bigger project I'd really appreciate objects, thus I'm going to use C++ (or Objective-C, but I know nothing about it).
What are the most common pitfalls in C++ I should watch out for?

Being a fallible mortal, I find C++'s use of stack scoped destructors, and consequent support for automated RAII worth all the other hassles like binary incompatibility except via extern "C", if I'm having to write native code (given that most places are faggy and balk at using e.g. Haskell in that niche).

On the rare occasion I have to code kernelish stuff for hardware appliances that is so low level where I don't get a libc++ to link against, so have to do vanilla 'C', it's nearly as painful as going back to 12-key card punches would be.
