Does C++ solve the oft-mentioned problems with C for numerical work? Are
vectorizing C++ compilers available on "crunching" machines, e.g. Cray, Convex
and Alliant? (In fact, are vectorizing _C_ compilers available for the latter
two)?

Do C and C++ compilers generally give about the same level of optimization,
i.e. are C compilers much more mature than C++ compilers.
