Given all things equal: If your model is procedural, then C++ offers no real advantage. If your model is OO, then C++ offers a tangible advantage. But things are never really equal. C99 removes most of the same deficiencies that C++ does if your write in a procedural manner. The most important question is one of resources. Do the programmers have a better working knowledge of C or C++? Are the tools at your disposal equally beneficial for C and C++. Things of that nature. C++ does not really remove ANY complexity from programming. That is a myth. It simply *hides* the complexity, making the developed tools easier to use.
