Hi,To ensure binary compatibility you will have to use gcc-2.95.
We have just finished preliminary porting of a product from Tru64 to SuSe Linux 8 (UL 1.0). Unfortunately we ran into a well known "problem" in that the ABI has changed somewhere between gcc-2.95 and gcc-3.2. We make use of a proprietary C++ library which the vendor is only able to supply to us as compiled by gcc-2.95. As it would be a major undertaking for us to move to another database/C only version of their library I was wondering/hoping there are other solutions out there.
I do not know.We have had a stab at getting our source to compile with gcc-2.95 but straight away ran into problems in that std::wstring is not available for the libstdc++ shipped with it. We also make heavy use of exceptions & templates in our source and are not sure whether we would get the required level of support in 2.95. Has anyone tried compiling the newer libstdc++ (as shipped with gcc-3.x) with gcc-2.95 ?
