Why is C++...

...so bad? Why does it have such a bad reputation?

I'm an experienced C++ programmer and, while the language has warts, I can't understand the reason for the enormous amount of criticism against the language.

I'd like to hear the honest opinions of /prog/rammers in this regard.

#define INC_REF(p) ((p) && ((struct refc*)(p))->count++)
#define DEC_REF(p) ((p) && (--(((struct refc*)(p))->count)) == 0 && ((struct ref*)(p))->destructor(p))
This way they're expressions instead of statements.
