The most common problem they find are errors in the format string of
printf-like functions (despite the code is C++):
None of my C++ code uses iostream. I still find stdio.h more comfortable
to use, in spite of its many problems. One of the most annoying features
of iostream is the abuse of operator<< and operator>> for I/O. Format
strings are an ingenious idea sorely lacking in the iostream department
(though admittedly the way it was implemented in stdio is rather unsafe,
due to the inability of C to do many compile-time checks).
I have been an adept of iostreams since day one and never understood why
people complain so much about them or the operator<< and operator>>
for that matter.
But I try to keep my C++ code clean from C'isms anyway.
