HP-UX ld B.12.42 vs B.12.56 on Itanium(R)

[eldbmc]

Hi,

I have compiled my source code by aCC on ld version B.12.42 and after that I create patch code and compiled it on B.12.56.

1) did the result binary (patch) of B.12.56 should work well with the first binary on machine that compiled before with B.12.42 version?

2) There is any impact of runtime library that complied with the old ld version?

Thank you,

The linker version change should not stop your binary from working as expected.

Most likely the version of the linker isn't as important as the dynamic loader that comes in the same patch.

Most likely not, unless there were bugs there.
