There are also some things in C that do not work or work differently in C++, such as (void*), empty structures (which in C++ are not really empty), etc; and there is also such C++ stuff such as name mangling, the C++ standard library, etc, even if those things are not a part of your program, which is another reason why you might prefer C.
