Nobody is going to make you overload operators, do work in constructors, or throw exceptions. Restrict yourself to the subset of C++ that you prefer.
By comparison there is no subset of C that lacks malloc/free.

In practice most of us are restricted to the subsets (note plural) chosen by the people who wrote the original systems we work on.
If you think C++ is the answer to C's problems I think you suffer Stockholm syndrome. You've gotten so used to all the issues in C++ and started thinking about them as normal, so you stop seeing what a mess this language is.
