> Manual memory management?

Less necessary in C++ than in C, with all the container STL libraries 
around. When you do need it, I find new and delete to be more intuitive than 
malloc and free.

> Pointers vs references?

References are easier than pointers and there's not too much to learn to use 
them. C only has pointers.

> Copy constructors and assignment constructors?

These can be difficult. They do mirror concepts used in C though.

I think that's more of a C thing than a C++ thing, though it's available in 
both.

I'm with Warp on this one: what?

> Templates?

They can cause some difficulties. But they can make your life a lot easier 
too (STL again).

> Untrapped numeric overflows?

I think C and C++ both have this property. In practice you barely ever have 
to worry about it.

> Unchecked array indicies?

Also a C and C++ thing. If you want your array indices checked, and you're 
using the std::vector class, you can use the vector.at(index) function. (In 
practice though, I usually just add my own asserts.)
