Subject: A question on glibc backwards compatibility
Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2020 11:59:32 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2e35fa4e-7b88-ddeb-ddd4-bb87d9ad9ebb@gmail.com> (raw)

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
