What happens when you compile on 10.1?
Good question. I wish I had a spare computer with 10.1 installed to try it ;-) Actually I can use a friend's computer, so I will do that tomorrow if I can. Still, it would be a shame to have to do all my development on 10.1 for this reason.

As much as everyone is probably sick to death of this topic, I still haven't found a satisfactory answer in the archives, so I will ask anyway.

My program, compiled on 10.2 with gcc3.1, crashes without any warning on 10.1, and leaves nothing behind in terms of logs etc. I think I know which section of code is at fault: I recently made changes there which broke the backward-compatibility. I want to keep the changes, so going back to the old code is not an option.

I have setup the availability macros described in Apple's doc to compile for 10.1, and determined that there are no methods being called that were not supported in 10.1.

I have checked the code to see if there are any "extern" variables from the frameworks, but cannot see any.

Someone mentioned in the archives that "Class" objects could cause problems, but I don't really understand this. Is this true, and if so, in what circumstances? My code makes use of NSStringFromClass, NSClassFromString, and also "Class" objects. Could this be the problem, and if so, why?
