Epilogue:
Our hero has completely and permanently lost his faith in the popular
compiler. Disillusioned and indecisive, he resigns himself to
henceforth reluctantly write C++ only to support his miserable
life. His plight is so bad he downright refuses to support the latest
follies of the popular compiler in his free software efforts.

Anticlimax: ;-)
Our hero sees the error of his ways. Eschewing the grotesque
compromises imposed on C++ by its quixotic quest (??) for "Object
Oriented Programming Without Garbage Collection" (OOPWGC), he returns
to sanity, living happily ever after, writing robust, portable
programs in C, "the world's most widely used assembly language", where
what you see is what you get, regardless of the underlying platform
and compiler.
Will this be the end? To be continued, hopefully.
Indeed. I feel your pain. (And, you haven't really explored the full
range of ABI incompatibility problems.)
