shared object, inline members and backward compatibility

[jfranzoy]

Hello. I gives support for a core set of libraries (.so) that are used by the
developers of my company. The nine libraries are compiled using gcc4.1.2 on
Linux-i686, solaris2.6-sparc and hpux-parisc platforms. Breaking backward
compatibility is a headache for me.

Currently I have two questions, the first very specific the second very
general

1 - I have a inline static public member function. If I drop an assert from
it, does it break backward compatibility?
2 -How can I know if a change in one of my libraries will break
compatilibity? I mean some paper, utility, etc.

Thanks.
