A comment on The C++ Lifetime Profile: How It Plans to Make C++ Code Safer. Parent comment
That's not entirely true. C++ has a stable ABI: compiling a library with GCC and reusing it with clang or ICC is doable and commonly done nowadays.
The problem with the C++ ABI is that it is shamefully fragile. It is extremely easy to break an ABI without wanting it in C++, even for experts.
