I am not too sure about that. For example, a quick search returned http://unthought.net/c++/c_vs_c++.html though I also found http://www.scribd.com/doc/2296462/C-vs-C-Performance-Comparison-Virtual-Functions-Inheritance- (which has an opposite opinion). BTW, you may also like to see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B#Criticism > For a fixed industrial level project , writing in C is faster than C++. Is > it true I don't know what fixed industrial level projects are, but IMHO, since C++ allows for C (and much more), it would be _faster to write_ the program for a C++ compiler.
