When I mention constructors I am talking about initializer lists and all the subtleties and special cases around them.
Basically most of the complexity I mention comes from memory management. It's just a lot of details to know about and keep in your head. It's the price to pay for the flexibility and power.
In Java you need to understand references and object lifecycles or you get memory leaks and slow applications.
Actually, I work on a performance sensitive application and it's written in Java and it's a good choice for it, since the performance comes from algorithmic complexity, mostly from asymptotic complexity. A C++ rewrite wouldn't significantly impact the performance of the application.
