We have various C++ libraries that were built with 8.3 and I am trying to
link them into a 9.0 project. I am having problems with some destructors
not being undefined. I rebuilt these libraries using 9.0 and my problems
went away. Will I need to rebuild all libraries that were built with 8.3?
It took me by surprise that these libraries needed to be recompiled. I
would like to understand why. Any comments?

CW's name mangling changed between 8.x and 9.0. So, yes, you'll need to
rebuild all C++ libraries (but not C and Obj-C). Hopefully, you have
the source to all the libraries.
