Not to play the wet blanket here, but this would introduce a link-time incompatibility between 1.33.0 and 1.33.1 wouldn't it?
Yes (AFAIK), but how is pointing that out being a wet blanket? Or are you implying that 1.33.0 and 1.33.1 should be link compatible?
I thought that was one of the implications of it being a patch-level release. That it was ABI compatible.
For many other libraries, yes. For C++ it's not as common. For Boost, contrary to what I though for some time, it's not the case. About the only compatibility for patch level releases we can count on is API compatibility. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - Grafik/jabber.org
