No - that won't work. The binaries are different between Tiger and Panther - we aren't just hiding functionality - what you see is what you get.

I see - I got the wrong impression from your earlier statement that there was no branch between Panther and Tiger, suggesting to me that the binaries would be the same.


If it is an "SPI", it is not public; we are making no commitment to its future. I have often seen these change between different releases and 3rd parties have to change their code because of these changes. Its probably one of the main reasons you will see companies describe why their products do not work on "such and such" a release. If you've not had these problems, then you are lucky.

I understand. That's why I was pointing out the difference in danger when it's a case of using an SPI *only* in a past release. For instance, there are symbols exported and functional in 10.2 that didn't become public until 10.3. No matter how much of an SPI that call was on 10.2, it's not dangerous to assume it will be there for eternity (on 10.2). It's only risky to assume that private APIs will continue to be around in *future* releases.
