Chris Lattner62495762003-10-02 16:38:05 +0000[diff] [blame]462<li>The LLVM C++ front-end follows the <a
463 href="http://www.codesourcery.com/cxx-abi">Itanium C++ ABI</a>.
464 This document, which is not Itanium specific, specifies a standard for name
465 mangling, class layout, v-table layout, RTTI formats, and other C++
466 representation issues. Because we use this API, code generated by the LLVM
467 compilers should be binary compatible with machine code generated by other
468 Itanium ABI C++ compilers (such as G++, the Intel and HP compilers, etc).
469 <i>However</i>, the exception handling mechanism used by LLVM is very
470 different from the model used in the Itanium ABI, so <b>exceptions will not
