CXX-DEV: HP-UX IPF 11.23 : Conflict between aCC shared andg++ application

I thought there was an IA-64 C++ ABI standard so different C++
compilers on IA-64 could share libraries?

If so, is it just that G++ doesn't implement it?

There is a standard IA-64 C++ ABI and both g++ and aCC claim to
implement it but the ABI as implemented by g++ and the ABI as
implemented by aCC are just enough different to completely screw things
up.

Also, g++ and aCC use different runtime libraries and if you wanted to
mix the two you would have to restrict yourself to only using one or the
other for all the objects in a single program. A C++ object compiled
with the g++ <iostreamheader could not be mixed with an object
compiled with the aCC <iostreamheader (for example) even if the ABI's
were an exact match because aCC and g++ implement the various library
routines/classes in different ways.
