Is it possible to link libraries compiled with gcc 2.9 into a new program using gcc 3.2?

Is it possible to link libraries compiled with gcc 2.9 into a new program using gcc 3.2?

[Erik Nordahl]

Hi,

I have som old libraries bought to compile with gcc 2.9, but is now 
considering upgrading my gcc compiler to version 3.2.

Can I still use/link the old libraries into a new program build/linked 
with gcc 3.2?


Thanks in advance!

There was never a 2.9.  Perhaps you mean 2.95?

If they are C, yes.  If they are C++, no, for 2.anything and 3.2.
