Avoid Extensions

Many compilers have their own extensions to the programming language. Try to avoid such extensions as much as possible; later you may unexpectedly have to run your code on a different machine (maybe yours is down), and the other compiler may not accept the extensions.

Many compilers have options to check whether your code conforms to standard usage of the language.
