**# The Issue: A description of the type of platform-specific code that falls into this category - What it is and why programmers write code in this way. Include a short example of actual code.
**# The Problem: When code written in this particular way has problems (e.g., when moved to a platform that has...) and what issues appear (program crashes, wrong results, won't compile, ...). Include bug reports or other evidence of this problem actually surfacing.
**# The Solution: How code can be written in a portable way, avoiding platform-specific issues. Include a short example of actual code that solves the problem in a platform-neutral way. Consider advances in the language standards, [[Compiler Intrinsics]], and [[Compiler Optimizations]] as part of your solution.
* Q: '''How will this be marked?'''
