Java or C ++ for my specific agent-based model (ABM)?

Question

Unfortunately, I need to develop an agent-based model. My background is C ++; I am a decent, but not a professional programmer. My goal is to determine if my background forecast will be at the moment, the following algorithm will be faster or much easier to write in C ++ or Java.

1. My agents will have a class Host. Their private member variables include their infection and immune status (type int) in relation to different strains. (In C ++, I can use unordered_mapor vectorto store this information depending on the number of strains.) I plan to keep track of all the hosts in the vector vector< Host *> hosts .
2. The program will need to know at any time all the specific hosts infected with a particular strain or immunity to a particular strain. Therefore, for each strain, I could support two separate structures, for example, vector< Host *> immune and vector< Host *> infectious (I could make each two-dimensional, indexed by the strain, and then the owner).
3. Hosts may die. It looks like this is creating a mess in C ++, because I need to find the right person to kill in Hostand search through other structures ( immuneand infectious) to find all the pointers to this object. I get the impression that Java will implicitly delete all of these pointers if I delete the underlying object. It's true? Is there a better way to do this in C ++ than what I have here?

Thanks in advance for any help.
