CppCon 2019: Louis Dionne “The C++ ABI From the Ground Up”

[@industrialdonut7681]

I really liked the extremely simple examples, made it a lot easier to start to understand what an ABI is

[@YA-yr8tq]

This is my first exposure to ABIs and I really appreciate the simplicity of the presentation!

[@Krzysztow1985]

Very good talk! Nice explanation on the ABI, exactly what I need to start digging into this topic.

[@JawwadHafeez]

Very useful info. Got perspective of another developer on the subject. Thanks

[@learpcss9569]

20:14 was mindblowing for me

[@boogly3716]

At 20:00 pair is not trivial in both cases that he is showing. Actually, if any special member function (constructors or destr) is used-defined the type is non-trivial. What he probably meant is: The type is trivially copyable when destructor is not user-defined

1h of pure gold

The talk is as great as it is depressing. ABI is hard but now I at least understand a little bit better the how and the why.

[@tomaszstanislawski457]

Probably the issues with C++ ABIs is why many frameworks still use C API.

Really nice session. Do you have any data on Itanium C++ ABI conventions, it has few limitations though. For C++ ABI, it is still open for ABI Stability right?
