{Customize: The text of the folio cover goes here.

2006-07-29: This devNote illustrates platform isolation from C/C++ implementation- and platform-specific libraries and APIs.  The treatment here was inspired by a request on the Microsoft MSDN Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition Forum.  This incomplete and provisional material is created so that the in-progress work can be referenced at a stable web location from the related MSDN Forum discussion threads.}

Organization

The evolving organization of material is as follows:

  1. Synopsis and Content (this page)
      
  2. Overall Requirements and Approach for Platform Isolation (d060701b for latest material)
      
  3. API Reference for getpwd (d060701d for the latest)
      
  4. Header File development (d060701e for latest)
    toward a stable header file that is itself fully portable among Standard C/C++ implementations
      
  5. Portable Stub Implementation (d060701g for latest)
    providing portable test programs and examples that are themselves fully portable
      
  6. Visual C++ implementation-specific code (d060701h for latest)
    providing a platform-specific code that remains fully isolated and encapsulated behind the contracted interface associated with the header file and its correct portable usage
      
  7. A platform-independent fixture for use in testing all of this
