C++ Portability Sucks

C++ is one of the most ported languages, but writing an application across differing platforms apparently isn't so pretty. I stumbled upon this while trying to figure out why gcc is putting my template class' constructors in the .data segment of my executable file instead of the .text segment. I hate real-time by the way. So much frustration for things I really don't care for at all. I think I might drop this course.
Anyway, so that mozilla portability guide is quite a read. And the HP-UX compiler really sucks.
