Designing Portable Programs
Peter J. L. Wallis · 1982
Part II of this book is concerned with techniques for producing portable programs. After a brief review of possible techniques, we explain how to design programs that are intended to be portable. The idea is to identify parts of the program that may have to differ for different target machines and then to try and design the programs so that any differences are confined to certain well-defined portions of them. Extensive discussions of potential problem areas are included.
