Description This book is an in-depth discussion of issues involved in getting C/C++ code from one platform to another. Hook dives deep into arcane topics such as processor memory access alignment, floating point operation platform differences, and exception handling. The book's not for the faint-of-heart, and it's rather specific to C/C++; however, readers brave enough to push through the book should get interesting insights regardless of what platform and development environment they're working with. This appears to be a great resource for folks who are actively porting software. It's a very good guidebook of issues to address if you're even thinking about porting. I'd also say it's a good skimming read for most developers if only to get an understanding of some engineering principles to consider when building your systems. You never know when your platform might fold or get deprecated.
