Wait, is the Itanium ABI not the amd64 ABI? I thought that the 64-bit x86 ABI was called the Itanium ABI despite Itanium having gone kaput.
Did Microsoft release a paper with that conclusion? I'd be curious to read more about their reasoning.
- asveikau 7y agoHmm, I missed the C++ism for this term. Googling around: > Although it was initially developed for the Itanium architecture, it is not platform-specific and can be layered portably on top of an arbitrary C ABI. My mistake, my comment is mostly rubbish then.
