C vs C++ for reverse engineering?

Why people often tell you to learn C instead of C++ for reverse engineering? C is a subset of C++.

probably because C has like no compiler magic in it so you dont have to worry about and learn all the things that the compiler can generate for you. also C is not a subset of C++ anymore.

Reverse engineering should only be done in either assembly, or the language in which the original code was written.

C is much more barebones and can run on many more machines. It is also a good amount different in actual operation, "virtual" keyword for example. I know nothing about backwards engineering but I imagine because it is safer, less bulky and closer to the machine.
