Migration from C to C++
summary
Claims concrete migration steps: learn classes, references and templates and unlearn raw arrays and manual malloc/free; prefer std::vector or std::array over C arrays, use std::string not char buffers, and replace raw pointers with std::unique_ptr; pass complex parameters by const reference, use standard algorithms (std::sort, std::find) not hand-rolled loops, and favor exceptions over error codes. These recommendations are practical replacements that aim to reduce leaks and unnecessary copying.
