415 href="http://www.codesourcery.com/cxx-abi">Itanium C++ ABI</a>.
416 This document, which is not Itanium specific, specifies a standard for name
417 mangling, class layout, v-table layout, RTTI formats, and other C++
418 representation issues. Because we use this API, code generated by the LLVM
419 compilers should be binary compatible with machine code generated by other
420 Itanium ABI C++ compilers (such as G++, the Intel and HP compilers, etc).
421 <i>However</i>, the exception handling mechanism used by LLVM is very
422 different from the model used in the Itanium ABI, so <b>exceptions will not
