I don't think that your statement about C with C++ compilers holds true anymore. I have seen quite a few codebases that are definitely C++, but use bespoke memory management strategies where required. Pool allocators and allocation-only heaps are high on the list of things that are useful in this area, for various reasons.

I'd call most of that C with classes.

As ooposed to what? This is the core of C++, even though feature creep has opened up the language to other coding styles and patterns.
