Is using gcc3 the only way I can catch exceptions? I don't believe upgrading the application compiler to gcc3 is an option for me, unfortunately ... not at this point, anyway. I'm only a small developer adding XML support through xercesc to a portion of a much, much larger project.

Hi Brice, You cannot link a library built with gcc3 into an executable built with gcc 2.96 -- they are not binary compatible and it will not work. You'll need to upgrade your application level compiler to gcc3.

Based on my experiences so far, it appears I have encountered this particular issue. Since gcc3 and gcc2.96 appear to be incompatible, from the standpoint of linking in a library built with gcc3 into an application built with gcc2.96, what can I do to be able to catch exceptions?!? Thanks for the quick response! Brice David N Bertoni/Cambridge/IBM wrote:Hi Brice, gcc3x and gcc 2.96 are not binary compatible. You should build everything with the same version of gcc, so you probably want to rebuild Xerces with gcc 2.96.

My question (since I'm not a compiler expert), is if I can compile xerces with gcc3 on a RedHat 8 system (since that's the earliest RedHat release supporting gcc3) and subsequently compile against the xerces library using gcc2 (2.96 to be precise) on a RedHat 7.1/7.2 based system. Is this legit? Will this allow me to catch the exceptions that appear to be crashing the application now? My current xerces library is compiled with gcc 2.96. Any clarity on this would be greatly appreciated!!
