Re: [Boost-users] mixing c++98 with c++11

The headers are supposed to tell you what symbols are exported from the binary (among other things). If you change the headers without changing the binary, those won't match up, and I think you're liable to have link errors.

Andy, Thank you for your reply. Is this a correct interpretation of what you are saying: I use Ubuntu Linux's apt-get to install boost. I need to ask Ubuntu which flavor of GCC was used to compile boost (c++98 or c++11). Then, when I build my applications using GCC I must use the same flavor. For example, if Ubuntu compiled boost with c++98, I cannot write a c++11 application that uses system-provided boost libraries. Thank you again, Chris
