Your compiler may not support all of the features discussed in this book, especially if you don’t have the newest version of the compiler. Implementing a language like C++ is a Herculean task, and you can expect that the features will appear in pieces rather than all at once. But if you attempt one of the examples in the book and get a lot of errors from the compiler, it’s not necessarily a bug in the code or the compiler; it may simply not be implemented in your particular compiler yet.
