What prevents us from coding like this in C++? As far as I can tell, human fallibility. C++ has been around for decades and we still keep running into the same bugs over and over. That is my point — "What can I do in this language?" is the wrong question. Anything that is possible in C++ is also possible in C, or even in assembly. But you can see why you'd use C++ over those.
That's the Blub paradox — you can see how Blub's facilities are an improvement over less powerful languages even though they can write functionally equivalent programs, but when you look at more powerful languages, you find yourself thinking, "Why couldn't you just write that in Blub?"
(Also, I'm not sure what #define NULL CNull does, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't enable static checking of pointer nullability.)

Minus four is the minimum points, it doesn’t indicate exactly how many downvotes a comment has. My guess is to discourage people from attempting to get the “most negative” number of points for a post.
