Could you build this?

No Building an ABI bridge to resolve native symbols and invoke functions across Swift, Objective-C++, and C++ requires deep knowledge of compiler ABIs, calling conventions, and symbol demangling.

What it would actually take: A functional implementation requires low-level C++/Swift interoperability, runtime symbol resolution (dlopen/dlsym), dynamic invocation frameworks (like libffi or custom assembly thunks matching platform ABIs), and precise handling of memory layout and struct calling conventions. The primary challenge is generating safe ABI-compliant dynamic calls without manual casts across platform boundaries.
