Any help would be appreciated.

Huh?
Well I can think of "cannot" for legal reasons, and "cannot" for technical reasons.
And why are you asking?
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
anything that uses the Solaris Overlay Visuals Library for its graphical output. Can't give you examples. I am aware of lots of Ada code that uses this library but it would be somehow illegal for me to give it to you. I know you're asking for C++ anyway.
Aside from the use of libraries that only exist on solaris there is the matter of CPU architecture. If you're talking about linux on an x86 and Solaris on a Blade or Sparc system you have a reversal of endian-ness to deal with. C++ is very portable, but you have to be very aware of what you're doing to make code THAT portable.
