That is not a book about C++ pitfalls. That is a book about C pitfalls. They really are two very different languages. Don't get me wrong, C++ has pitfalls of its own -- perhaps the worst of which is writing C and thinking it's C++ in anything other than a superficial sense. But there are vanishingly few cases that could lead to out-of-bounds indexes or dangling pointers anymore. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
