This may be a naive question from someone outside of the ecosystem, but what is the purpose of ABI compatibility for an open-source library? Why not recompile the standard lib as a part of your own binary? Is it shipped by the OS as a DLL for sharing purposes?
- flqn 7y agoThat's pretty much the issue; linking against libraries you can't/don't want to rebuild that may have been built with different versions of those symbols. The standard library is shipped as a DLL/shared object on pretty much every OS.
