That is not a book about C++ pitfalls.  That is a book about C pitfalls. 
  They really are two very different languages.  Don't get me wrong, C++ 
has pitfalls of its own -- perhaps the worst of which is writing C and 
thinking it's C++ in anything other than a superficial sense.  But there 
are vanishingly few cases that could lead to out-of-bounds indexes or 
dangling pointers anymore.
