This proposal details the mechanism for calling imported C++ functions from Carbon code. It covers how C++ overload sets are handled, the process of overload resolution leveraging Clang, and the generation of "thunks" – intermediate functions – when necessary to bridge Application Binary Interface (ABI) differences between Carbon and C++.
