What C ABI? Can you point me to the spec?

I don't believe C standardizes the ABI across all OS/hardware combinations. But some OS/hardware combinations are standardized; for example, there's the AMD64 ABI[1], which I think just about every operating system that runs on amd64 uses … except Windows.

Yeah, but that's a bit of a long bow... That's not a C ABI :-)
