I’m legit confused. Are those supposed to be good things.
- kijiki 8y agoPeople have different opinions on EFI, but in the time before the modern C++ ABI, every compiler (and often different versions of the same compiler) generated code with different ABI expectations, which made libraries and software distribution absolute hell.
- garmaine 8y agoSure but as far as ABIs go it is absolute garbage and extremely difficult to work with.
