Have the developers just given up on a stable >ABI? :) Definitely not. In the compiler proper the changes to date are all fixes for bugs in our implementation of the multi-vendor C++ ABI. ie, the changes bring us closer to conformance with that standard and as a result also make it easier to mix-n-match binaries from different compilers. It's also worth noting there is a switch which you can use to get a GCC 3.2/3.3 compatible ABI. Things aren't quite to that point in the runtime library yet though. In fact the fact that the library's ABI and API was changing was one of the major arguments _for_ going ahead and enabling the queued ABI fixes in the compiler. jeff
