Will my application from Solaris/SPARC work on Solaris/x86? I have the source.
Yes and no. Generally applications that don't make assumptions aboutcomputer architecture will work. That is, code shouldn't depend on
structure or union alignments, or in what order a number appears in a
word ("big endian" SPARC or "little endian" Intel).
Don't use functions labeled SPARC or x86 only in the man pages.
In other words, "well-behaved" C (or other
language) programs should recompile fine.
