Cross‑Platform C++ Development Pitfalls Guide
This guide outlines practical best‑practice recommendations—such as using C++17, proper header guards, forward‑slash paths, UTF‑8 encoding, restrained inline functions, standard fixed‑width types, careful char handling, readable nested templates, conditional compilation, Clang compiler, thin conversion layers, custom asserts, composition over inheritance, safe static initialization, and limited template use—to help developers write portable, maintainable, efficient C++ code across Windows, macOS, Linux, desktop and mobile platforms.
