See, already there you missed all the C language constructs that C++ is copy-paste compatible with, and should only be used inside unsafe code blocks.

Which in C++ good practices means type safe abstractions not exposing any kind of C style strings, arrays, casts, pointer arithmetic,....

Unfortunely still relatively rare, some of us when we were the C++ Striking Force in the 1990's Usenet flamewars already advocated for such practices, most of them already possible with C++ARM, no need for modern, post-modern, rococo, baroque or whatever C++ style is going on with C++26 now.
