Hi Owen,
Very true! The number and scope of C++ changes were *much* larger
during the 90s than they are today. But even so, I know of a handful of
C++ codes (ones that we care about because we use them!) that needed a
bit of work to compile even for the relatively recent g++ 3.4.x to 4.0.x
and 4.0.x to 4.1.x transitions.
