Your descriptions conflict. A safe binary replacement usually cannot
even add new features, in case this breaks something.
New functions in C libraries do not cause runtime breakage.
It's good to know that there's never been a crash in the entire history
of the C programming language due to a bug in a new function causing
runtime breakage. It just proves the point that I've made in the past,
that programmers using statically typed languages are far smarter than
those using dynamically typed languages. The former just compile their
code by lunchtime and then head to the pub, while the latter have to
stay in the office all afternoon testing.
