Are OPCODEs for ETH and ETC different?

Question

I deployed an exactly same contract to both ETH and ETC. And I could see the contract doesn't work correctly only on ETC.

contract ContractA {
    ContractB public BB;

    // Common
    constructor () public {
        BB = ContractB(msg.sender);
    }

    function () public payable {
        require(msg.value > 0);

        BB.destination().transfer(msg.value);
        BB.logDeposit(msg.sender, msg.value);
    }
}

It seems that it fails on the line BB.destination().transfer(msg.value);. I think reading destination() works and then it fails when it tries transferring.

I suspect that the OPCODEs for those chains are different, but couldn't get any clue.

Answer 1

At the moment ETC does not have certain new opcodes that solidity assumes exist. To compile contracts for ETC you need to use Solidity version <=0.4.19.

Come January/February 2019 we should expect that ETC will upgrade and become opcode compatible with current versions of Solidity. Longer term there are other solutions that will be implemented.
