According to https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20220113-00/?p=106152,
Microsoft acknowledged that the behaviour is different between free function
and C++ member functions, and that it does cause breakage of the COM ABI
between C and C++. What they have done is to update the MIDL compiler to
generate C bindings compatible with the C++ ABI. (I filed
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54226 for implementing the same
function in widl.)
In this sense, the current behaviour of gcc and g++ regarding free functions
should be correct and does not need fixing. Only the ABI for C++ class member
functions are wrong.
