Hi there:
We have recently started to use egcs 1.1.1 release in our
HPUX/AIX/SOLARIS platforms. Unfortunately (and we plan to change that in
the near future if we can), we develop software using ILOG libraries,
and this company has decided to stop giving GCC/EGCS (anything GNU)
versions of his libraries and is giving only versions of them for native
compilers (aCC, xlC and CC in HPUX, AIX and SOLARIS).
Anyway, the big question is:
- I've seen that aCC demangling support has been announced. Are there
plans for Solaris/AIX demangling in the near future? I would be willing
to help with that.
Thanks in advance,
Cristian Alonso

Then I'm afraid you are out of luck, unless you can pursuade them to
change their policies.

All demangling support means is that gdb works on HP aCC output. It
doesn't mean you can link egcs/g++ code with aCC code and have it work.

Solaris doesn't have a fully defined C++ ABI spec yet. Also, as Mr.
Buck pointed out, you need a lot more than just name mangling. An
old draft ABI is at http://access1.sun.com/workshop/ if you're
interested. When I pestered some folks at Sun, they said they
would release a complete C++ ABI spec for Solaris with the full
release of WorkShop 5.0. Probably ought to wait for that (and the
gcc EH design) before working on supporting Solaris's C++ ABI.

AFAIK, this would be the first time that g++ supports a 'foreign' C++
ABI, right?
Is there *any* precedent of a C++ compiler supporting an ABI other
than its own? (I don't count COM here, MSVC++ <something>
compatibility would qualify)
Not that this would be a bad idea...

To my knowledge Lucid's compiler was doing that. There was at
least two modes (SUN compatible and its own). But of course, this was
ages ago....

I remember something about Metrowerks being compatible to MSVC C++ ABI,
but that might be just marketing literature. Nothing specific in their
web pages.
