Subject: [cxx-abi] Meeting tomorrow -- 28 Oct 99



Following is an updated agenda, based on last week's.
We should be able to get further this time.
 
  1) RTTI descriptors.  See open issue A-6, and Daveed's cleaned
     up description in the ABI data layout document.

     ==> Resolve the issue I raised in email.
     I think we were counting on a unique RTTI record so the addresses
     could be compared, which may affect whether we can put it in
     (i.e. immediately preceding) the vtable.
 
  2) The updated vtable layout proposal from Jason.  See open issue
     B-6, and Jason's cleaned up description in the ABI data layout
     document.

     ==> Matt's minutes indicate that we're ready to close this.
 
  3) Based on (2), can we produce a clean description of a virtual
     function call?  If not, what's still missing?  See issue B-1.
     I think we need a volunteer to write this up.

  4) Identify what remains to deal with C-4, C-5, and C-6 (calling
     constructors and destructors).

  5) Let's start the discussion of mangling.  Think about Daveed's
     list and any ideas you might have.  I've incorporated Daveed's
     email and the responses into open issue F-1.

The following is some external status:

 1) The COMDAT and section index proposals should be discussed in
    the base ABI group on 5 November.

 2) We have begun a DWARF-2 standard committee, and will begin
    dealing with IA-64 bindings next week.  If you were interested
    in participating in that activity, you need to email me with
    contact info (name, organization, phone, FAX) to get on the
    mailing list.

Next week, I'd like to return to the initialization/finalization issues
(I have an action item there), and to exception handling (Christophe
has one).

Attached is the tar file of the current files.
