<h1>Itanium C++ ABI</h1>
<p><i>Revised March 14, 2017</i></p>
<hr>
<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>The Itanium C++ ABI is an ABI for C++. As an ABI, it gives precise
rules for implementing the language, ensuring that separately-compiled
parts of a program can successfully interoperate. Although it was
initially developed for the Itanium architecture, it is not
platform-specific and can be layered portably on top of an arbitrary
C ABI. Accordingly, it is used as the standard C++ ABI for many
major operating systems on all major architectures, and is implemented
in many major C++ compilers, including GCC and Clang.</p>
<h2>Contact</h2>
<p>This website may be mirrored in many places, some of which may become
stale. The current canonical location is:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://itanium-cxx-abi.github.io/cxx-abi/">http://itanium-cxx-abi.github.io/cxx-abi/</a></li>
</ul></p>
<p>The primary discussion forum for the ABI is the
<a href="http://github.com/itanium-cxx-abi/cxx-abi/">GitHub repository</a>.
Please open a new issue for any new topic you want to discuss.
Previously, the ABI was discussed on a mailing list, cxx-abi-dev,
whose <a href="cxx-abi-dev/index.html">archives</a> are still
accessible.</p>

<h4> Objectives </h4>
<ul>
<p>
<li>
Interoperable C++ compilation on Itanium:
we want users to be able to build relocatable objects with
different compilers and link them together,
and if possible even to ship common DSOs.
This objective implies agreement on:
<ul>
<li> Data representation
<li> Object file representation
<li> Library API
</ul>
<p>
<li>
ISO Standard C++:
highest priority is functionality and performance of standard-compliant code.
It should not be sacrificed for the benefit of language extensions or
legacy implementations (though considering them as tie-breakers is fine).
<p>
<li>
Some areas will be easier to agree on than others.
Our priorities should be based on achieving as much
interoperability as possible if we can't attain perfection.
That is, it is better to end up with a few restrictions being required
for interoperable code, than to have no interoperability at all.
This suggests priorities as follows:
<ol>
<li> Items requiring base ABI changes that might affect other
languages, and will therefore become impossible soon.
Examples include exception handling / stack unwind,
or ELF changes (not extensions).
<li> Core features where differences will prevent virtually any
C++ object code from porting.
Examples include data layout and calling conventions.
<li> Limited usage features,
where users can achieve portability by avoiding the feature.
An example might be multi-threading.
<li> Peripheral features,
where the requirements on users to achieve
portability are clear and easy to implement.
An example is non-explicit inlining,
where compilers would presumably allow it to just be suppressed.
<li> Tool interfaces, which affect how users build code,
rather than what they build.
An example is the compilation command line.
</ol>
<p>
<li>
Mechanisms/methods which allow coexistence of incompatible
implementations may be suitable in some cases.
For instance, packaging vendor-specific compiler support runtimes
in DSOs occupying distinct namespaces might allow multiple such DSOs to
be loaded for mixed objects and avoid requiring that all vendors have
the same support runtimes.
</ul>
