Yes. >>> I'd like to update pcre since fink's version (4.5) is pretty >>> ancient and I've been using the latest version (6.4) for a few >>> months now with no issues. [...] pcre appears to follow the freetype model of binary compatibility. Compared to 4.5, 6.4 adds new things to the public API/ABI (new functions, new elements in structs, new #defines and wider datatypes for other #defines). However, it appears to use the same install_name and does not appear to increment the compatibility_version. Granted, they don't change existing prototypes, and they add to the end of structs, so things compiled against old would work with new and things compiled against new would work with old (as long as they don't use any new stuff). But we're just askin' for user-land breakage unless compat is incremented or a different install_name is used. > Is there any reasonably simple way I can test this?
