Don't they all have a

Absolutely. The projects that I ran effectively used C++ as a
stronger-typed version of C. A small subset of C++ features were
allowed, but among the prohibited features were:
o multiple inheritance
o operator overloading
o friend classes
o C++ exception handling
o all std:: and STL functions
The last two of these are mainly for performance reasons. throw and
catch play merry hell with compiler optimizations, especially of
global variables.
