Function overloading is a compile-time concept, but the result after name scope 
flattening are simple function names that are called without any extra pointer 
indirections (ie, no different than C).

C++ is as efficient as C only if what is written translates to the equivalent 
form. This is easy to do, but only after a large hurdle of understanding how C++ 
compilers work.

The biggest shortcoming in the C++ "industry" is that there is no literature i 
have seen that explains in a compact way how you can look at a piece of C++ code 
and see how it would translate to the equivalent assembly, which is the main 
advantage of C.
