-
-
-<para>
- C++ applications often depend on specific language support
- routines, say for throwing exceptions, or catching exceptions, and
- perhaps also depend on features in the C++ Standard Library.
-</para>
-
-<para>
- The C++ Standard Library has many include files, types defined in
- those include files, specific named functions, and other
- behavior. The text of these behaviors, as written in source include
- files, is called the Application Programing Interface, or API.
-</para>
-
-<para>
- Furthermore, C++ source that is compiled into object files is
- transformed by the compiler: it arranges objects with specific
- alignment and in a particular layout, mangling names according to a
- well-defined algorithm, has specific arrangements for the support of
- virtual functions, etc. These details are defined as the compiler
- Application Binary Interface, or ABI. The GNU C++ compiler uses an
- industry-standard C++ ABI starting with version 3. Details can be
- found in the <link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="http://mentorembedded.github.com/cxx-abi/abi.html">ABI
- specification</link>.
-</para>
-
-<para>
- The GNU C++ compiler, g++, has a compiler command line option to
- switch between various different C++ ABIs. This explicit version
- switch is the flag <code>-fabi-version</code>. In addition, some
- g++ command line options may change the ABI as a side-effect of
- use. Such flags include <code>-fpack-struct</code> and
- <code>-fno-exceptions</code>, but include others: see the complete
- list in the GCC manual under the heading <link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Code-Gen-Options.html#Code%20Gen%20Options">Options
- for Code Generation Conventions</link>.
-</para>
-
-<para>
- The configure options used when building a specific libstdc++
- version may also impact the resulting library ABI. The available
- configure options, and their impact on the library ABI, are
- documented
-<link linkend="manual.intro.setup.configure">here</link>.
-</para>
-
-<para> Putting all of these ideas together results in the C++ Standard
-library ABI, which is the compilation of a given library API by a
-given compiler ABI. In a nutshell:
-</para>
-
-<para>
- <quote>
- library API + compiler ABI = library ABI
- </quote>
-</para>
-
-<para>
- The library ABI is mostly of interest for end-users who have
- unresolved symbols and are linking dynamically to the C++ Standard
- library, and who thus must be careful to compile their application
- with a compiler that is compatible with the available C++ Standard
- library binary. In this case, compatible is defined with the equation
- above: given an application compiled with a given compiler ABI and
- library API, it will work correctly with a Standard C++ Library
- created with the same constraints.
-</para>
-
-<para>
- To use a specific version of the C++ ABI, one must use a
- corresponding GNU C++ toolchain (i.e., g++ and libstdc++) that
- implements the C++ ABI in question.
-</para>
-
-</section>
-
-<section xml:id="abi.versioning"><info><title>Versioning</title></info>
-
-
-<para> The C++ interface has evolved throughout the history of the GNU
-C++ toolchain. With each release, various details have been changed so
-as to give distinct versions to the C++ interface.
-</para>
-
- <section xml:id="abi.versioning.goals"><info><title>Goals</title></info>

-<para>Extending existing, stable ABIs. Versioning gives subsequent
-releases of library binaries the ability to add new symbols and add
-functionality, all the while retaining compatibility with the previous
-releases in the series. Thus, program binaries linked with the initial
-release of a library binary will still run correctly if the library
-binary is replaced by carefully-managed subsequent library
-binaries. This is called forward compatibility.
-</para>
-<para>
-The reverse (backwards compatibility) is not true. It is not possible
-to take program binaries linked with the latest version of a library
-binary in a release series (with additional symbols added), substitute
-in the initial release of the library binary, and remain link
-compatible.
-</para>

-<para>
- How can this complexity be managed? What does C++ versioning mean?
- Because library and compiler changes often make binaries compiled
- with one version of the GNU tools incompatible with binaries
- compiled with other (either newer or older) versions of the same GNU
- tools, specific techniques are used to make managing this complexity
- easier.

-Use the 'make check-abi' rule in the libstdc++ Makefile.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-This is a proactive check of the library ABI. Currently, exported symbol
-names that are either weak or defined are checked against a last known
-good baseline. Currently, this baseline is keyed off of 3.4.0
-binaries, as this was the last time the .so number was incremented. In
-addition, all exported names are demangled, and the exported objects
-are checked to make sure they are the same size as the same object in
-the baseline.
-
-Notice that each baseline is relative to a <emphasis>default</emphasis>
-configured library and compiler: in particular, if options such as
---enable-clocale, or --with-cpu, in case of multilibs, are used at
-configure time, the check may fail, either because of substantive
-differences or because of limitations of the current checking
-machinery.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-This dataset is insufficient, yet a start. Also needed is a
-comprehensive check for all user-visible types part of the standard
-library for sizeof() and alignof() changes.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Verifying compatible layouts of objects is not even attempted. It
-should be possible to use sizeof, alignof, and offsetof to compute
-offsets for each structure and type in the standard library, saving to
-another datafile. Then, compute this in a similar way for new
-binaries, and look for differences.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-Another approach might be to use the -fdump-class-hierarchy flag to
-get information. However, currently this approach gives insufficient
-data for use in library testing, as class data members, their offsets,
-and other detailed data is not displayed with this flag.

-<para>
- Some features in the C++ language make versioning especially
- difficult. In particular, compiler generated constructs such as
- implicit instantiations for templates, typeinfo information, and
- virtual tables all may cause ABI leakage across shared library
- boundaries. Because of this, mixing C++ ABIs is not recommended at
- this time.
