Hi David, On AIX, mixing objects from different GCC versions should work as long as the newest GCC is used for linking. I tested a library with some objects compiled by GCC-4.4 and some objects compiled by a patched GCC-5.0. Exceptions passed through the mixed objects without issue. Did you have a specific example or reason to think it wouldn't work?
If one attempts to mix C++ objects from GCC-3.3 and GCC-4.4 on Linux or Solaris there are link time errors. If you're worried about the risk of runtime problems, would you rather have a deliberate link time error on AIX?
