That's merely an advantage to having a C++ *compiler*. No need to
actually use the C++ *language*. :-)
XEmacs has had a policy of compiling without warnings under *both* C
and C++ for about 5 years now, and it catches a lot of stupidity
before it leaves the developer's sandbox.
The feature programmers are occasionally annoyed that a pet C idiom
gets disallowed, but that's the only downside we've experienced.
