Do you have an example of that?

Also, I've seen suggestions (I think on the FreeBSD mailing lists) of 
using C++ as "a better C". That is, not using any C++ specific features 
but building the code as C++ because apparently you get better code 
checking and diagnostics with it. Though you do lose some features like 
implicit casts from void* when using C++.
