C++ generates a lot of code, including constructors, destructors, and virtual functions.
While abstractions can also be achieved in C, they have to be implemented manually.

In C that's five to ten times the code.

But this is nothing we can't live with, with the befit of disallowing other unwanted C++ features.

What's uneeded with the gerated code ?

If you mean code written by other people, then this is about a big "framework".

A matrix class isn't a framework. Frameworks are libraries with
callbacks.
And the code you'd write in C instead does the same, but everything
done manually.

Many times, C++ abstraction are incomplete.

What's incomplete ?

For instance, "smart pointers" should be called fake pointers.

Why ?

C++ std::string does not represent "literals".

You can build a string_view from a literal. The length is determined
at compile-time. You can do most things with it you do with a std::
strng, except writing on it.

Them we have .c_str() and  we also my have extra unnecessary conversions and allocations.

If you need a dynamic string you need a std::sting.
These fixed-size char-arrays in C are an error-prone disease.
