New Yes but C++ encourages open source!
Because you can never count on getting compatible binaries.

Actually, so does [link|http://jode.sourceforge.net/|Java].

Its getting harder and harder to rely on compilation to protect intellectual property - which I think is good - since I'm in favor of Lessig's 10 year copyright limitation for software and requirement to escrow and publish source.

I am out of the country for the duration of the Bush administration.
Please leave a message and I'll get back to you when democracy returns.

At first I interpreted your message to mean "I don't expect compilers to agree on code." Is that what you meant? If so, then that's really F.Ued.

New long been that way
I remember an app speced by one party that was to be flogged to a 3rd party who found out and wanted the source as it was their security system. Without going into details the app was built partly in c partly in gnu c with api's to bison. After the dust settled and the source xfred the new guy never could compile the code even though he had instructions as which went where.
thanx,
