Many people have told me that cfront is just not up to the job,
but can somone take the time to elaborate? What is it about
modern C++ that makes cfront unusable? I can believe it has
been left behind but could it not be given some help to catch up?

I am not trolling, I am a C programmer and not a C++ one so its
not obvious to me.
