Portability becomes a much more critical issue with C++ since many platforms

consistently.

Ed, yes, this is true, but luckily things are improving all the time. I have
had a fair amount of experience in this area working for Symbian, Psion,
Catharon and Slangsoft, all of whom require portable C++ code, and all of
which except Catharon (I think) target PDAs and phones as well as desktop
PCs, and I have found that the sort of C++ I like writing fits most
platforms with no difficulty. I don't use any arcane features except (if you
call it arcane) templates, and I have been forced not to rely on many
standard library features being present.
