It's not rhetorical. But it's interesting to note that since MSVC 2015, MS has kept its ABI for the C++ symbols and their standard library. But having different #defines has caused ABI problems of our own. So it's unlikely we'll be able to retain ABI with MSVC across different compiler versions. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel System Software Products _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
