- No, of course I don't think that only "standardizing" the
- name-mangling format would be enough to portably link code generated
- with different compilers, but that would've helped a lot in the
- particular project I'm working on now. Making this a standard should be
- just the beginning if anyone ever wants to achieve (partial) binary
- portability. It would be nice to be able to use the same libraries
- across different compilers for the same operating system.

- I agree with you. It would help a lot. Look at MSVC and BC.
- You can use libraries of one compiler with another compiler.
- The problem is the name mangling, not an incompatible code.
