The following table lists all the example programs, with a brief description of each one, and an indication of which compilers can handle the program correctly. See the main examples page for the full compiler names and links to the vendors' web sites. File names of the form exCCNN.cpp are the source code for Example CC-NN, in Chapter CC. Many of the examples demonstrate errors, so the correct behavior is usually for the compiler to detect and report the error. The C++ standard does not require compilers to detect all errors, though.
| Legend | |
| OK | Compiler correctly compiles the code |
| Err | Compiler correctly detects and report an error |
| NoE | Compiler fails to detect an error, but the standard does not require the compiler to report this particular error |
| FE | Compiler failed to detect an error it was required to diagnose |
| F | Compiler fails to compile correctly |
