Re: [Openexr-devel] openExr & Shake

[Paul Schneider]

You know, speaking of compiler ABI incompatibility, it occurs to me 
that we provide a C API to the Rgba input / output classes for just 
this reason.  Couldn't a Shake developer compile exrlib with gcc 3, and 
then compile a Shake plug-in with gcc 2.95 that links to exrlib and 
just calls the C front end?  It might be more complicated than this, 
but it should be possible.  Check out IlmImf/ImfCRgbaFile.h.
