- asveikau 8y agoMy experience is not really. The most common thing you will need to fix is assumptions about pointer sizes. Including casts between integer and pointer, which compilers used to be more permissive about in the days before intptr_t. (A few years ago I was compiling code from the 90s that did these casts implicitly, which had me wondering why the compiler ever let them get away with it...) C++ in particular has also changed a lot since the 90s including how permissive the compilers used to be, even for stuff covered by c++98.
