Gcc 3.0 attempted to conform to the c++ abi - it was wrong - so they fixed lots of things and 3.2 has a different abi. However, it was still wrong, and so 3.4 they are going to fix things and there will be a different abi again. If MS .NET actually manage to get conformance with the c++ abi correct (for some reason I doubt this) - then you may find increased luck mixing c++ object files. However you'd have to do said mixing without mixing std c++ libraries, most likely, since they would probably conflict. Name mangling is part of the c++ abi so that wont be an issue. Therefore I predict in about 2 years time when g++ 3.6 is out and MS .Net version 2 is out - life may have improved in this reguards ;) If it works before then, yay for it.
