"BCPL makes C look like a very high-level language and provides
absolutely no type checking or run-time support."

B. Stroustrup, The Design and Evolution of C++, 1994


"C++ was designed to be used in a rather traditional compilation and
run-time environment, the C programming environment on the UNIX
system.  Facilities such as exception handling or concurrent
programming that require nontrivial loader and run-time support are
not included in C++.  Consequently, a C++ implementation can be very
easily ported."

B. Stroustrup, The C++ Programming Language, 1986


"Except for the new, delete, typeid, dynamic_cast, and throw operators
and the try-block, individual C++ expressions and statements need no
run-time support."

B. Stroustrup, The C++ Programming Language, 3rd ed., 2000
