title: C vs. C++ for performance in memory allocation
body: <p>I am planning to participate in development of a code written in C language for Monte Carlo analysis of complex problems. This codes allocates huge data arrays in memory to speed up its performance, therefore the author of the code has chosen C instead of C++ claiming that one can make faster and more reliable (concerning memory leaks) code with C.</p>
  
  <p>Do you agree with that? What would be your choice, if you need to store 4-16 GB of data arrays in memory during calculation?</p>
