Thanks.
So basically, no symbol conflicts? Or does the backwards compatibility
go further than that?
Ideally, it should be possible to freely mix old and new object files in
a single application. It should be possible to throw an exception in an
old file and catch it in a new one, and vice versa. If you have to
recompile any existing code, then it's not compatible.
Thanks,
