[cfe-dev] Name mangling scheme

[Steve Naroff]

Yes, GCC implements the ABI from the codesourcery link below. As with  
any spec/doc, I don't know if it is entirely in sync with the latest  
GCC implementation. I think it makes sense for clang to (eventually)  
implement this ABI.

Making it configurable is an interesting idea if we actually have  
another compelling ABI to select. As Seo says, the MS name mangling  
could be interesting (though I am not aware of any public  
documentation on it).
