The ABI (Application Binary Inteface) for C++ is still in flux. A standard has been established for C++ name mangling, exception handling, vtable layout, etc -- but there isn't a released GCC that properly implements it. > Would KDE be excluded based on this immaturity ? No. If an application was using KDE interfaces and wanted to become an LSB 1.1 Compliant Application, the application would need to ship any KDE libraries required for that application to run in a application-specific library directory. If you're talking about including KDE in the LSB, yes - this lack of C++ ABI stability will block any C++ library from being included in the LSB.
