Both extern "C" and XPCOM functions are ABI-compatible. The problem is only with "plain C++" calls, but those are mostly internal calls, so ABI breackage is not really a problem. > and I think we lose the ability to compile against > any Microsoft IDL interfaces. This is a common misunderstanding. Compiling against IDL-based interfaces has always been possible. The problem was with compiling (MS) IDL files itself (which is uncommon thing to do, only accessibility module does that in whole m-c tree) and even that's possible now.
