Nothing you could not circumvent within C++.
But a hard requirement for C is the idea to get it
into the Linux kernel, C++ has no chance there.
You can put C++ into kenrel modules. Been there, done that, got the scars and
T-shirt to go with it. Generally you have to supply wrappers for some
“builtins” (e.g. new() wrapper around malloc() or kmalloc() or kmem_alloc()
depending on kernel), but its not too bad. But its almost impossible to make
a small library from C++ unless the C++ programmers have basically confined
themselves to a very limited subset of the language (at which point is it
really C++?)
