how low level are you coding?? Surely anything that can be done in C can be done in c++, its just c with objects. and I thought of another reason to dislike c - malloc sucks.

Not currently, but in the past, coding at the level where VM usage matters. Real men manage their own VM ;)

And vice versa. C++ is great at higher levels of abstraction. But when you need performance, optimization, and efficiency, you can't beat C. And I've found less experienced C++ users who are unfamiliar with C to be sloppy with VM usage.

I love malloc (and calloc).
