The ABI is generated by the compiler in response to the code it is given. If you don't control the code, you can't guarantee an ABI. If you change the types of function arguments -- for example, adding fields to structs that are passed by value -- you will break ABI, even if the compiler doesn't change.

So, for C++, a good document about keeping ABI compatibility: https://community.kde.org/Policies/Binary_Compatibility_Issu...
