GCC is finally switching from C to C++, and they are actually avoiding exceptions and RTTI.

I salute them on following strict coding conventions.

I agree, this is just a rant on C++.

Coming from Java world, I can tell that it is nice being able to raise exceptions from the constructor.

However, switching from C++ to C is absurd. C++ is (mostly) a super set of C. Whatever you want to do in C, in C++ is also possible.

If there are some C++ features (exceptions, classes, contructors, etc.) that are making his coding task more complicated, he should simply stop using those features and refactor his code.
