These are the two documents:

AArch32: http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ihi0041e/IHI0041E_cppabi.pdf
AArch64: http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ihi0059b/IHI0059B_cppabi64.pdf

Both delegate to the Itanium C++ ABI with some twists. For member
function pointers, I think the virtual/non-virtual bit is just shunted
onto the "this" adjustment (because the low bit of the code pointer
decides whether the function is ARM/Thumb in 32-bit mode so isn't
freely modifiable).

Cheers.

Tim.
