The C++ stack consists of the following pieces:

1) Compiler: uses the build machine's native toolchain and passes flags (e.g.
   `-nostdinc++ -nodefaultlibs`) to target Barrelfish and use it's headers and
   libraries.

   Hake can build C++ libraries and applications; for an example of how this
   works see: //usr/tests/cxx

2) libc++: implementation of the Standard Template Library (STL)
   Provides <vector>, <thread>, etc. and has support for C++{11,14}

3) libc++abi: ABI library -- runtime support for RTTI, exception handling,
   and (working) stack unwinding.

An alternative approach for C++ support is to use build a full GCC cross-
compiler.  Build scripts and more information can be found at:
  http://wiki.barrelfish.org/CrossCompiler

This can be convenient when integrating with other build systems (e.g. CMake /
autotools), however exceptions currently do not work with this variant.  Fixing
this requires patching libgcc's stack unwinder or adjusting it to use libc++.
