Whenever the subject of C/C++ quirks is brought up, I always like to point out the Deep C/C++ presentation:

It could be considered a bit dated at this point (It's before C++11) but I find it still both entertaining and educating.

Loved that, read it start to finish. C is already a minefield and it looks positively tame when compared to C++!

Yea this also one reason I don't like how these two languages are often lumped as C/C++ so often.

These days they have diverged even further. So I find funny to see C/C++ on job listings like it's one thing. While you can write code in a very C like manner in C++. That is not how typical C++ is often written these days.

That was very interesting!
