Although the C/C++ language provides many advantages over assembly programming, it also has a reputation for being inefficient when compared with assembly. With a little research and knowledge of how C/C++ is commonly translated to assembly by the compiler, engineers can develop efficient software. The focus is on techniques and methods that produce efficient software. Some features covered are: inheritance, inline functions, macros, object classes and data structures, switches, jump-tables, if-else clauses, and pointer and array accesses.

One of these decades, we'll move past the phrase "C/C++" to conflate two marginally-related languages together. Everybody DOES know that it was first widely used as a Microsoft marketing term in an attempt to finesse the fact that their C 7.0 compiler was horribly broken as a C++ compiler, even by the early standards of the day?
