#defines are still useful in C++, though not as much.
Casts are even more necessary in C++.
Pointer arithmetic is used in C++ as much as in C.
typedefs are for idiots.
structs are still used in C++ (or classes, which are basically the same
thing).
stdio.h is still much better for i/o in C++ than the ridiculous "<<"
type i/o streams.
