As I've said before, you can do these independently or together:

Neither SDK nor Development Target: build for current OS only (of course, most code will run on future OS versions too)
Just SDK and not Target: forward-develop for future OS
Just target, no SDK: build for current OS but weak-link if running on older OS
Both SDK and target: build for older OS without using newer OS features. (This is useful, e.g. in building KEXTs for 10.1, say)

Is this information valid for C++ applications also? I am building an app on 10.3, and want it to run on 10.2 and later (case #3 above). It uses the C++ library extensively (STL, std::string, iostreams, etc). Somehow I doubt that just changing the deployment target will make my project compile & link against the correct version of the C++ headers & libraries. That would imply (since the SDK is that of 10.3) that they are binary-compatible between these two OS revs.


Of course I'd love to be proven wrong :)
