Hello,

Can a library or an executable built on Solaris gcc load and call
routines from libraries built with platform specific compiler?

Thank you,
Alona

only for C objects of the same architecture, not for C++. The ABI is
different.

If the answer was no, nothing compiled with gcc would work with the 
system libraries!

My question was regarding C++ libraries.

Then why didn't you say so, or mention g++ rather than gcc?

You can use C libraries, but not C++ ones unless they provide a C interface.

Standard C code should mix, but beware of non-standard extensions (of
which Sun Studio has a few and GCC has a great many). C++ code will not
mix - different name mangling, different rtti and exception mechanisms
to mention but a few.
