- Subject: A question on glibc backwards compatibility
Dear Developers:
I knew that glibc has very good backwards compatibility. But I have an
issue during my development. I use very old glibc(version 2.5) to
compile my own developed dynamic library and use it on newer kernel,
some weird issues happen. Here, I could not explain these issues in
details because there are so much code involved. But my question is
that, glibc backwards compatibility is strict support? or if there are
any(few) exceptions? If there are exceptions where can I find them?
Sincerely looking forward to your response.
Regards
Jason
