Not really. There are some notes in the gxxint.texi document --
gcc/cp/gxxint.texi in the GCC distribution -- but they are far
from complete.

It hasn't been a priority to clean this up because a new
ABI is being worked on for GCC 3.0. This one is intended to be
multiplatform and multivendor (meaning that some compilers besides
GCC will support the same ABI).
