Building applications in 9.1 and then shipping to 9.0 users - any issues?

[Tony_Garratt]

If I compiled an application in 9.1 and shipped to an end user that had only 9.0, would therebe any issues? Similarly, if I produced static libraries in 9.1 and shipped them to an end user that had only 9.0 and they re-linked against them in 9.0, would they work?

So, in summary, can 9.1 exe's and libs be used in 9.0 without any problems?

Thank you!

Incidentally, if someone has 9.0, is there an upgrade cost for moving to 9.1?

The background is that one of our applications crashed when built in 9.0 with optimization on (but fine with no optimization) but in 9.1 its fine with optimization, making us think a bug was fixed in 9.1. However, our end user base is working with 9.0 and we dont necessarily want to force them to update to 9.1....

If you ship a statically linked EXE, there's nothing special you need to do. If it is linked to DLL libraries, you need to supply the 9.1 Intel DLLs. If you ship a static library, then you also need to provide the Intel 9.1 static libraries, which you are allowed to redistribute.
