That seems to be a case against writing functions.

Why is a C function acceptable where a C++ constructor isn't?

Because examining a single constructor is not enough -- you need to
check constructors of all objects contained within the object you
initialize.

Calling a C function is simple and explicit -- a quick glance over
the code is enough to tell what gets called.

No, you need to check all the functions it calls as well.

But I agree that C is more explicit than C++.
