ABI Mistakes
I'm reminded of Chesteron's Fence in this.<p>Every major ABI is listed here as containing the same mistakes. I'm inclined to think the people who designed these ABIs were smart enough to understand the consequences of their design decisions.<p>I don't know whether this author is correct or not, but my gut is there is something missing here with respect to non local control flow (like exception handling, setjmp/longjmp, and fibers).
