ObjC and ObjC++ pass non-trivial structs in a way that is incompatible
with each other. For example:
typedef struct {
id f0;
__weak id f1;
} S;
// this code is compiled in c++.
extern "C" {
void foo(S s);
}
void caller() {
// the caller passes the parameter indirectly and destructs it.
foo(S());
}
// this function is compiled in c.
// 'a' is passed directly and is destructed in the callee.
void foo(S a) {
}
This patch fixes the incompatibility by passing and returning structs
with __strong or weak fields using the C ABI in C++ mode. __strong and
__weak fields in a struct do not cause the struct to be destructed in
the caller and __strong fields do not cause the struct to be passed
indirectly.
Also, this patch fixes the microsoft ABI bug mentioned here:
