// At least on MinGW and Linux, only GCC since 4.7 declares __cxa_get_globals() in cxxabi.h. Older versions of GCC do not expose this function but it's there.
// On OpenBSD, it seems, the declaration is also missing.
// Note that at least on FreeBSD 11, cxxabi.h declares __cxa_get_globals with a different exception specification, so we can't declare the function unconditionally.
// On Linux with clang and libc++ and on OS X, there is a version of cxxabi.h from libc++abi that doesn't declare __cxa_get_globals, but provides __cxa_uncaught_exceptions.
// The function only appeared in version _LIBCPPABI_VERSION >= 1002 of the library. Unfortunately, there are linking errors about undefined reference to __cxa_uncaught_exceptions
// on Ubuntu Trusty and OS X, so we avoid using it and forward-declare __cxa_get_globals instead.
// On QNX SDP 7.0 (QCC 5.4.0), there are multiple cxxabi.h, one from glibcxx from gcc and another from libc++abi from LLVM. Which one is included will be determined by the qcc
// command line arguments (-V and/or -Y; http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/7.0.0/#com.qnx.doc.neutrino.utilities/topic/q/qcc.html). The LLVM libc++abi is missing the declaration
// of __cxa_get_globals but it is also patched by QNX developers to not define _LIBCPPABI_VERSION. Older QNX SDP versions, up to and including 6.6, don't provide LLVM and libc++abi.
