I work for software development company and write daemons and console tools for Unix. My boss wants everything to be written in C++, because he thinks C++ is cool. I prefer C for such tasks, but I cannot really put good arguments of why and where C++ can be worse than C. I know many of you prefer C too. Can you please explain some disadvantages of C++ comparing to C ? Is it slower, does it produce less effective code, why is it like that, etc ... or please direct me to some articles where this can be explained. I apologize for the offtopic whenever it happens, but this issue really pisses me off now.
