Clarification

[Damian Minihan]

Hi,

We are trying to use egcs 2.95.2 on our development, but I was having
trouble linking. I noticed the following on the Using and Porting the GNU
Compiler Collection (GCC) webpage in the Interoperation section:

GNU C++ does not do name mangling in the same way as other C++ compilers.
This means that object files compiled with one compiler cannot be used with
another.

Is this true of version g++ 2.95.2. We are developing on a solaris 8 box
using Orbix 3. The Orbix is precompiled using Sun WS 4.2. We are only
supplied the prebuilt libraries. Does this mean that we cannot use g++, or
is there a way around this?

Thanks in advance,
Damian
