To enable object files built with one toolchain to be linked with a run-time support (RTS) library from another, the API between them must be specified. The interface has two parts. The first specifies functions on which the compiler relies to implement aspects of the language not directly supported by the instruction set. These are called helper functions, and are documented in this section. The second involves standardization of compile-time aspects of the source language library standard, such as the C, C99, or C++ Standard Libraries, which are covered in separate sections.
