C ABI
A binary-level calling convention that allows different programming languages, such as C/C++, Rust, and Go, to link shared libraries and call functions directly without language-specific bindings.
Timeline (last 90 days)
A pragmatic path for rewriting a commercial engine in Jai may be a hybrid architecture: writing new modules in Jai and coexisting with existing C++ code through the C ABI, rather than a full rewrite.
The C ABI is highly stable and standardized across platforms and compilers, and is the de facto standard for cross-language interoperability.
A SQLite extension is a plugin mechanism offered by SQLite that lets developers compile a dynamic library in C/C++ or any language supporting the C ABI and load it at runtime, thereby adding new functions, virtual tables or query capabilities to SQLite.
SonicBoom takes a compiler-first design, does not depend on Python at any point in building or running, ships only a shared library and C ABI, and treats Guile Scheme as a first-class language.
Common paths for connecting Rust components to the Python/TypeScript agent ecosystem include C ABI, WASM and local RPC (such as gRPC, JSON-RPC over Unix socket).
The C ABI is a low-level convention for communication between different programming languages, specifying function name linkage, the memory layout for passing parameters and return values, and responsibility for resource cleanup, but it carries no type information, lifetime semantics, or exception model.
跨语言FFI边界通过C ABI进行，但C ABI无法表达Rust的Result类型或Zig的错误联合体，Rust的panic不能安全跨越到Zig代码中
C ABI因简单性成为事实上的跨语言互操作标准，没有名称修饰、异常传播机制和隐式this指针，而C++ ABI因编译器和平台而异
