Given that the C++ Standard has nothing to say about an ABI (neither does the C Standard, for that matter), then what a compiler does on a particular platform, and what a platform ABI specifies (if it does) are possibly kind of linked.
- mhh__ 6y agoThe word compiler is only mentioned 12 times in the whole standard give or take. My point was that it's not a question of whether the compiler is modern or not, i.e. I work with an old compiler backend on a modern system and it still gets the ABI correct even if it ends up spilling back to memory too often.
