Subject Libabigail <insert-version-number-here> is out!
|
|
|
|
Libabigail <insert-version-number-here> has been released.
|
|
|
|
You can download it at http://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/libabigail/libabigail-<insert-version-number-here>.tar.gz.
|
|
|
|
Libabigail is a library which aims at constructing, manipulating,
|
|
serializing and de-serializing ABI-relevant artifacts.
|
|
|
|
It also comes with a set of associated command line tools to compare
|
|
the interfaces of ELF binaries resulting from the compilation of C or
|
|
C++ programs.
|
|
|
|
Typical use cases of libabigail tools include detecting ABI
|
|
incompatible changes across several releases of shared libraries or
|
|
incompatible changes in the interface between a Linux kernel and its
|
|
modules, for instance.
|
|
|
|
Users can of course write their own tools using the library.
|
|
|
|
The library comes with extensive API documentation available online at
|
|
https://sourceware.org/libabigail/apidoc. The tools are documented
|
|
online as well at https://sourceware.org/libabigail/manual/libabigail-tools.html.
