I started changing my projects to build universal libraries and
binaries and the first thing I tested was whether I could link
universal against a thin static library. I hoped that this would
fail, because it's eventually going to fail at runtime. (Let's say I
build the universal on my Intel box, so that it only ends up being
correctly linked for the i386 architecture. Then I run the
"universal" binary on my ppc. Since there's no valid ppc executable
inside the universal binary it should fail. If I did it the other way
around, I might be "saved" by Rosetta.) What I found was that the
build appeared to succeed.
I have two questions:
1) Is there any reason that this isn't a bug?
2) Has anyone filed a bug on this?
It depends on how far you got after you started changing your projects
to build universal. Did you get to a) using the 10.4u SDK, b) setting
the Architectures to ppc i386, and c) building a Release build?
Because linking a Universal binary against a thin static lib should
have failed under those circumstances.
Could you please post the part of the build transcript where linking
takes place?
AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH! Never mind. I'll start again and state what I
really tested and what really happened.
Sorry.
