It mentions C++ ABI - something that Studio has and g++ does not.
 From an ARC perspective, that is all that really matters.

Note the dates on the document - 1993-ish.  One reason it is not

Rather, dynamically linked C++ libraries that are NOT ABI Compliant.
Studio C++ does generate ABI Compliant code, g++ does not.

What would that be?
