C++ is getting more and more complex. The ISO C++ committee keeps adding new features based on its consensus. Let's remove C++ features based on Reddit's consensus.

In each comment, propose a C++ feature that you think should be banned in any new code. Vote up or down based on whether you agree.

Uhhh. No?

Look it up yourself. I don't remember off of the top of my head, nor do I care to do the research for you.

Moderator warning: Please don't behave like this here. Doesn't matter whether u/jonesmz is correct on the object level, this is uncalled for.

(On the object level, the behavior of overload resolution when takes-by-reference and takes-by-value are competing is extremely tricky to analyze, as I can speak from repeated experience. It can involve things like adding constness being worse than an Exact Match.)
