Yes, that's a negation that rephrases the question. So what marvel is in Ada, positively, that is in Win32 but not in C++ (11), so that using full Ada makes software portable, while usiung full C++ (11) does not? The C++ version must be using features of Win32 that are not available on all PC platforms mentioned, but are, with Ada. Which are they? There must be a good, positive, non-negating argument in favor of Ada.
