Not sure what you are talking about: C++ has an incredibly stable ABI. You should be able to link with code you compiled 35 years ago, if you own a machine that can still run that processor!

Indeed, this stable ABI is now causing issues for C++ moving forward, because it makes many optimizations impossible, and the old guard is resistant to any change, even if it's opt-in with a flag.
