The ABI (Application Binary Interface) has a huge impact on C++ libraries. But what does that mean concretely?

This talk will explain what we mean by the ABI in the context of C++. Starting from the ground up and focusing on the Itanium C++ ABI specification, we will understand what is part of the ABI and how changes in your C++ source code can result in changes to the ABI. We will also cover what ABI stability means, what use cases ABI stability enables, and what some of the costs of maintaining ABI stability are.

Keeping the point of view of a library implementer, we will see how one can control what is part of a library's ABI, using both standard and non-standard techniques like attributes. Finally, we will also see some tools that can be used to inspect parts of the ABI of a built program and detect changes to it.
