i have heard that c's translation to asm is more effiecient than c++'s translation to asm. Can anyone prove/disprove this?

I guess there's no real answer to this as it would depend on the individual compiler.......a bit of a generalisation?
Sounds like a stupid statement meant only to cause arguments on "which is best" (a topic of which this board already has hundeds of threads)
well, C is a bit more lower level than C++ is. in C, you need to allocate memory manually, but in C++, you have the magical new and delete operators. classes getting translated to asm is not the easiest process either. polymorphism, inheritance, and other OOP things tend to become slower than C programs (and larger).
Er....the new and delete operators allocate memory as it is done in C (malloc.....) but there are a few extra things to new and delete (calling constructors, type safety....) and it is part of the actual language.....they still do the same job...No less lowlevelOriginally posted by Flikm

hmm i posted this topic somewhere else to get people's replies, and someone posted me this. Its apparently an interview with the creator of c++. What do you guys think? http://www.program.com/humor/bjarne.html
i didnt believe it myself but i am not sure.
Wow, I'm off to learn D (or maybe VB).
take note it has the word "humor" in the url. But i am not entirely sure if its bogus or not. Anyone like to prove/disprove?
Unfortunately it's a hoax. I wonder if my local bookstore will take back all this VB stuff I've just gone an bought?
your joking right? yes i know im gullible
Sorry.
