Most guidelines have a noncompliant code example that is a C++14-conforming program to ensure that the problem identified by the guideline is within the scope of the standard. However, the best solutions to secure coding problems are often specific to a particular platform. In many cases, this standard provides appropriate compliant solutions for both POSIX and Windows operating systemsMost guidelines also include a compliant solution that applies to multiple platforms. Language and library extensions that have been published as ISO/IEC technical reports or technical specifications are frequently given precedence. In many cases, compliant solutions are also provided for specific platforms such as Linux or OpenBSD. Occasionally, interesting or illustrative implementation-specific behaviors are described.
