Not sure what you mean....
There are not "many basic types of c++", there is in fact only one standard
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C++
Maybe what you mean is there are various different C++ compilers around ?
In an ideal world, all compilers would implement the standard in exactly the
same way, so C++ that compiles and runs with one compiler would do so with
all others.
Life isn't anywhere near as simple.
In fact, code that compiles withone version of gcc (http://gcc.gnu.org/), the
default compiler that comes with basically any linux platform, may not work
with another version out the box.
