library versions, and a simple description of each of the shared libraries in
XML format, abi-compliance-checker searches for the following kinds of binary
compatibility problems:
--Added/withdrawn interfaces (functions, global variables)
--Problems in Data Types:
--Classes: added/withdrawn virtual functions (changes in layout of
virtual table), virtual function positions, virtual function
redefinitions
--Structural data types: added/withdrawn members (changes in layout of
type structure),
changes in members, size changes
--Enumerations: member value changes
--Interface problems:
--Parameters and return type changes
--Static property changes
The checker then generates a report that assesses the risks of any potential
problems detected.
