For already some time I wonder why the abi version has not been
updated for the 4.0 release. Has it been a deliberate choice or has
it just been forgotten. As far as I can tell it seems that the only
difference is in the mangling of non-type template parameters (that
were not starting with an underscore if I remember correctly).
So for the sake of compatibility with the ABI, would a patch as the
following will make sense ???
No, because we do not want to make that change by default. The mangling
change is not necessary for correct implementation of C++; just for
correct implementation of the ABI.
