Has anyone compiled a list of the differences (incompatibilities?)
between AT&T C++ and GNU C++?

I know there are some programs which will compile under one and not the
other.  It would be nice to be able to write portable C++ which would
compile under either.

If anyone has such a list, please mail or post it.

If there is no such list, I will volunteer to compile it from
contributions from all and sundry.

(As long as I'm here, I'd like to flame AT&T for using .c as the source
code file extension.  What a stupid idea.  Now you can't tell a C
source file from a C++ source file just by looking at the filename.
And you can't tell make(1) to make a program containing C and C++.  And
each Makefile has to have a .c.o rule to override the default one.  Hey
AT&T!  Why don't you take a tip from GNU and use .cc?)
