  All I got was "Error establishing a database connection" which does seems like Modern C++ Sausage. Other languages would probably use connection pooling to reduce the number of connections required. /s

  Why does a platform specific compiler need to produce portable binaries?
• SamReidHughes 10y ago
  All stuff that communicates with an operating system is non-portable. libc++ is an implementation for Linux/FreeBSD/macOS. /dev/urandom works on all these platforms.

  > the dependence on /dev/urandom as an absolute path is the most jarring to me. Why? You use the system supplied entropy source; for each implementation it will use the appropriate one for the platform.

You do realize that the C++ runtime library is always a system or compiler supplied non-portable library? Just like the C library is also highly non-portable. It uses system-specific syscalls all over the place.
