C++ gives you enough rope to shoot yourself in the foot. If you did not know rope could do that you should have read the manual.
It's like a chainsaw with all the bells and whistles but all the safety features removed. Sure you can chop wood with it really fast and probably stone too if you #include diamondteeth library, you can even hammer in nails if you #include hammer. But you are alone responsible for your safety and it's probably not the best tool for any given job.
You should also really be using the latest chainsaw model with new safety features, but your workplace swears by the gas guzzling piece of shit from 1996
I loved when my IDE would warn me that my code wasn't deterministic unless I used c++11 or newer compilers because previous versions technically didn't define how it should work, so every compiler handled it differently.
And all the times I had to specify C++11 because it had features I needed, and suddenly it was a huge headache because the testing pipeline wasn't REALLY compatible, it just said it was, and then handed it off to manual review. Something I didn't know until 6 months after I started using it...
