It doesn't make too much sense to speak of an official ABI for Go in general. gccgo uses the usual C ABI on any given system. The way that gccgo represents Go types in C terms is documented at: http://golang.org/doc/gccgo_install.html#C_Interoperability . Though, as noted, some of the implementations are still subject to change, so in that sense there is no final ABI. The 6g and gccgo compilers are never going to interoperate. 6g uses a different approach to compilation, a different object file format, a different calling convention, etc., all in the name of fast compilation rather than fast execution. > Definitely though this is worth mentioning in gcc-4.7/changes.html. Yes, will do. Ian
