| | Source-compatibility - encyclopedia article about Source-compatibility. |
 | | The source code must be compiled compiler is a computer program that translates a series of instructions written in one computer language (called the source language) into a resulting output in another computer language (also called the object or target language). | | | Most compilers translate source code written in a high level language to object code or machine language that may be directly executed by a computer or a virtual machine. | | | In modern programming languages, the source code which constitutes a program is usually in several text files, but the same source code may be printed in a book or recorded on tape (usually without a filesystem). |

| | Backward compatibility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Binary compatibility means that programs can work correctly with the new version of this library without requiring recompilation. | | | A computer system is backward compatible if it is able to work with software or accessories designed for the system it is meant to replace. | | | The Intel 80486 processor is backward compatible with the 80386 because it can execute programs written for the 80386. |

| | Compatibility is just one way, among several, that open source software provides social benefits to a wider slice of society than does proprietary closed source software. | | | With open source software, the issue of an undocumented protocol cannot arise--the source code to a program implementing a protocol is a well-defined specification for the part of the protocol that the program implements. | | | Additionally, you are provided with "source code" to the software, which allows you to modify the software in order to fix bugs, add features, or integrate it with other software. |

| | Source-compatibility Encyclopedia Article, Definition, History, Biography |
| | Microsoft Windows systems are source compatible across one major family (NT, 2000, XP or 95, 98, ME), with partial source compatibility between the two families. | | | Confusingly, sometimes the term is used for assembly language compatibility, where the source is already human-readable machine code but must be converted to executable code by an assembler. | | | In computing, a device (usually a computer processor) that can run the same source code intended to be compiled and run on another device is said to be source-compatible. |

| | JDK 1.1 Compability |
| | If source files use new language features or APIs in JDK 1.1.x, they will not be usable with an earlier version of Java. | | | This means that source files written to use the language features and APIs defined for 1.0.x can be compiled in 1.1.x and will run in 1.1.x. | | | Downward binary compatibility is generally supported, though not guaranteed. |

| | Since source incompatibilities are easy to deal with, maintaining source compatibility is considered much less important than maintaining contract and binary compatibility. | | | Source Compatibility: GEF 3.2 will be upwards source-compatible with GEF 3.1 to the greatest extent possible. | | | This means that source files written to use 3.1 APIs can often be successfully compiled and run against GEF 3.2 APIs. |

| | Evolving Java-based APIs |
| | Achieving API binary compatibility requires being sensitive to the Java language's notion of binary compatibility [JLS2, chapter 13]. | | | Apart from the binary compatibility issues, it is generally good software engineering practice that API classes should not expose any fields. | | | Source code incompatibilities are not worth losing sleep over because the Client's owner can easily correct these problems if they do arise with only localized editing of the source code. |

| | JCP Talk: JavaWorld Interviews JCP Chair Rob Gingell |
| | I think binary compatibility is much more market- and economically relevant than source compatibility independent of the technology. | | | When Sun is the licensor, we use SCSL [Sun Community Source License], a license that requires derivative uses of the work to maintain compatibility with the specification as part of the terms for having access to the work. | | | We mean source so that the developers who have invested their energies in learning Java technology have a wide range of uses against which to apply that skill. |

| | Java 2 Platform Compatibility |
| | If source files use new language features or Java 2 Platform APIs, they will not be usable with an earlier version of the Java platform. | | | A package, class, or interface is presumed to exist if there is a corresponding directory, source file, or class file accessible on the classpath or the sourcepath, regardless of its content. | | | This means that, except for the noted incompatibilities, source files written to use the language features and APIs defined for 1.0 and 1.1 can be compiled and run in the Java 2 SDK (v1.2 and 1.3). |

| | All of these tests that break competitor's implementations wouldn't necessarily be included in the official compatibility test, but the open source process would get these incompatibilities on the table, making it possible to discuss intelligently what compatibility should really mean. | | | The open source communities have been extremely good at preventing their standards from diverging -- there are no incompatible implementations of Perl, of Ruby, of Python, or of any significant tool that I'm aware of. | | | The current situation, in which compatibility testing is prohibitively expensive, is not fair, not in the interest of the Java community, and not even in Sun's interest. |
