[mapguide-internals] Open Source / Enterprise native binary compatibility

[Trevor Wekel]

Hmm... That is an interesting observation Traian.  STL object compatibility could prove especially problematic for Linux where each distribution runs its own version of GCC.

Regards,
Trevor

Hi Jackie,

Since many of the APIs use STL strings, at the very least the DLLs would have to be compiled with the same exact compiler, since STL objects are generally incompatible across compilers and compile modes (debug vs. release).

This applies for DLLs where the API is the same in OS and Enterprise, which I think is true for stuff under /Common. You can easily try it by dropping in a dll you compiled yourself into an MGE instance -- if it still starts, then it worked. :)

Hi All,

Is MGOS binary compatible with MGE at the native API level?

Or put it another way: 

If I build a C++ project using the MGOS 2.1 headers (let's say for
argument's sake, anything under MgDev\Common) will the resulting binary work
with MGE 2010 dlls assuming MGOS 2.1 is API equivalent to MGE 2010?

Regards,

- Jackie
