The 9 pages that link to C++, each with the reason it gives.

• C (programming language)Compared with: C++ shares much of C’s low-level heritage while offering a substantially larger language and abstraction toolkit.

• Object-oriented programmingBroader topic: C++ demonstrates how object-oriented techniques can coexist with lower-level programming.

• FortranCompared with: C++ offers a different route to high-performance scientific software, with a larger abstraction toolkit.

• Java (programming language)Compared with: Java shares C-like syntax with C++ but omits many low-level features and manages memory automatically.

• Dennis RitchieCompared with: C++ retained C compatibility while adding abstractions that C does not provide.

• Bjarne StroustrupBroader topic: It is Stroustrup’s best-known creation and the main vehicle for his design principles.

• Kristen NygaardRelated: Its object-oriented model drew on ideas developed in Simula.

• Objective-CCompared with: C++ adds object-oriented features through a different design, with less reliance on message-based runtime dispatch.

• Operator overloadingRelated: C++ permits extensive operator overloading, including user-defined meanings for many built-in operator symbols.
