I was just curious, besides the APIs and DLLs, etc, what is the difference between C++ compiled in windows, and C++ compiled in linux? Is it just the OS interrupts used in the machine code or what?

so runtime libraries, machine code interrupts and executable file format?
Like header-bits-sort of thing?
hmm... can you link me to somewhere that explains the file formats?
if not...I'll google it...just...it's like 2:30 am right now.

Here is a list of file formats -- there might be more, I don't know. I didn't know a.out was a file format -- just thought it was a filename.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
