- Subject: Compatibility between g++ 4.1 and 4.2
I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether C++ libraries compiled
with gcc 4.2 are compatible with gcc 4.1 and vice versa. From
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Compatibility.html I see that:
"Starting with GCC 3.2, GCC binary conventions for C++ are based on a
written, vendor-neutral C++ ABI "
and:
"We have tried hard to provide a stable ABI that will be compatible
with future GCC releases, but it is possible that we will encounter
problems that make this difficult"
Does this mean I should have no problems?
Thanks
Stuart
