Hi all experts,
Today I'm doing most of my coding in C. Most of it is native win32API
programs, 1000-50000 lines. I also combine this with stl. I consider myself
to be a decent C programmer and I also know a little C++. Is it worth
switching to C++? Will it give me any more usefull tools? For me the
standard arguments about more secure code, polymorphism and so on seems to
be just excuses for people who has spent years learning C++. I have never
ran in to a problem which couldn't be solved with C. Give me some good
arguments or examples why I should bother wth this C++ thing, I really need
some motivation to dig in to this :)
