What do you mean by "portable"? That it will compile and run
everywhere? Or that it can be linked with a run-time library prepared
for each target platform?

What kind of problems do you foresee in this area?

Hint: POSIX seems to be a commonly understood target for developing
portable concurrent systems.

Hint2: Whatever was possible for C can be reused for C++ by inclusion.
