FPC uses an platform independent method. The C++ ABI isn't used.
But it could be used on platforms that have a "fairly" stable and standardised C++ ABI (windows and Linux mainly). Other platforms can use the current FPC generic method as a fallback.
FPC could use that trick on (pretty much?) any platform. It doesn't have to be compatible with the official C++ abi of that platform (just like the current technique isn't either). It just isn't implemented yet.
Yes thats right which is why I think its best to optimise its implementation in the various RTLs (the Linux RTL could use the C++ ABI or something else depending on which is faster etc).
