Your experience is definitely the most common one. As a rule, I wouldn't
recommend mixing and matching the way I have because doing so might well
trigger obscure compiler or library bugs. So far, I haven't experienced
this, but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen. In theory, though, this
type of mix 'n' match should not be an issue in user-space apps because
the compiler ordinarily can be relied upon to Do The Right Thing.
