======
abidw
======
abidw reads a shared library in `ELF`_ format and emits an XML
representation of its ABI to standard output. The emitted
representation includes all the globally defined functions and
variables, along with a complete representation of their types. It
also includes a representation of the globally defined ELF symbols of
the file. The input shared library must contain associated debug
information in `DWARF`_ format.

=======
* ``--help | -h``
Display a short help about the command and exit.
Add --version option to several libabigail tools This patch changed the revision number of the libabigail library to make it reflect the fact that we are not in "release candidate" mode, before the first 1.0 release. So the revision number is now "rc0". The configuration manager has been updated to support version numbers that are strings, so that it can supports things like "rc0". Then, several libabigail tools have been modified to support the --version option to display their version number. * configure.ac: Set the version revision to "rc0". * doc/manuals/abicompat.rst: Adjust manual for new --version option. * doc/manuals/abidiff.rst: Likewise. * doc/manuals/abidw.rst: Likewise. * doc/manuals/abilint.rst: Likewise. * doc/manuals/abipkgdiff.rst: Likewise. * include/abg-config.h (config::{m_format_minor, m_format_major}): Make these be strings. (config::{get,set}_format_minor_version_number): Make these return strings. (config::{get,set}_format_major_version_number): Make these return or take strings. (abigail_get_library_version): Make this take strings. * src/abg-config.cc (config::config): Adjust. (config::{get,set}_format_major_version_number): Make these return or take strings.

* `--version | -v`
Display the version of the program and exit.
* ``--debug-info-dir | -d`` <*dir-path*>
In cases where the debug info for *path-to-elf-file* is in a
separate file that is located in a non-standard place, this tells
``abidw`` where to look for that debug info file.
Note that *dir-path* must point to the root directory under which
the debug information is arranged in a tree-like manner. Under
Red Hat based systems, that directory is usually
``<root>/usr/lib/debug``.
Note that this option is not mandatory for split debug information
installed by your system's package manager because then
``abidw`` knows where to find it.
* ``--out-file`` <*file-path*>
This option instructs ``abidw`` to emit the XML representation of
*path-to-elf-file* into the file *file-path*, rather than emitting
it to its standard output.
* ``--noout``
This option instructs ``abidw`` to not emit the XML representation
of the ABI. So it only reads the ELF and debug information,
builds the internal representation of the ABI and exits. This
option is usually useful for debugging purposes.
Drop suppressed ABI artifacts from the IR This patch allows dropping suppressed ABI artifacts from the in-memory internal representation right during the DWARF or abixml reading. In practise, this means that abidw and abilint now have a --suppressions options to give them suppression specifications. If a suppression specification that has the "drop" property matches an ABI artifact (type, function or variable) then that artifact is dropped from the internal representation. This also applies to abidiff. Note that now, by default, ABI artifacts (types) that are suppressed due to the --headers-dir{1,2} option of abidiff are now also dropped from the IR as well. Incidentally, abidw and abilint tools now have a --header-dir option too. * doc/manuals/abidw.rst: Document the new --suppressions and --headers-dir options off the abidw tool. * doc/manuals/abilint.rst: Document the new --suppressions and --headers-dir options on the abilint tool. * doc/manuals/libabigail-concepts.rst: Document the new "drop" and "name_not_regexp" properties on suppression directives. * include/abg-corpus.h (corpus::corpus): Add a default argument to the path parameter. * src/abg-suppression-priv.h: New private header file. * src/Makefile.am: Add the new abg-suppression-priv.h file to source distribution. * include/abg-suppression.h ({suppression_base, type_suppression, function_suppression, variable_suppression}::priv): Make these public.

* ``--suppressions | suppr`` <*path-to-suppression-specifications-file*>
Use a :ref:`suppression specification <suppr_spec_label>` file
located at *path-to-suppression-specifications-file*. Note that
this option can appear multiple times on the command line. In
that case, all of the provided suppression specification files are
taken into account. ABI artifacts matched by the suppression
specifications are suppressed from the output of this tool.
* ``--headers-dir | --hd`` <headers-directory-path-1>
Specifies where to find the public headers of the first shared
library that the tool has to consider. The tool will thus filter
out types that are not defined in public headers.
Support Linux Kernel binaries This patch teaches the ELF/DWARF reader of libabigail to load special ELF sections that are specific to Linux Kernel binaries (either vmlinux or linux kernel modules). The patch creates a new flag that tells the ELF reader that it needs to consider the input binary as a Linux Kernel binary. This is the new 'Linux Kernel mode'. In this linux kernel mode, the reader expects sections that are named __ksymtab and/or __ksymtab_gpl sections. Those sections contain indexes (of ELF symbols described in the normal ELF symbol table) of exported ELF symbols that are specifically marked by developers using EXPORT_SYMBOL or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL macros. These are symbols of global variables and functions defined and meant to be used by kernel modules. They constitute the interface exported by the Linux Kernel to its modules. So the patch only exports the publicly defined and exported ELF symbols that are also listed in __ksymtab and __ksymtab_gpl sections. The patch also fixes and re-organizes things left and right so that this new mode works in a well integrated manner with the other parts of the reader: - The load address of the binary is no more assumed to be the load address specified by the program header that is at offset zero. This is usually the case for user-space programs. To handle Linux Kernel binaries, the load address is now the one specified by the program header that is at the smallest offset. - The patch now tries to populate the various symbol maps only when necessary. That way, the new symbol maps defined for the ksymtab and ksymtab_gpl section are also loaded only when necessary; that is, when in Linux Kernel mode. - The patch (more) agressively suppresses non-member functions or variables that are not declarations and that have no associated ELF symbol. The patch knows how to recognize and read relevant ELF symbol information from __ksymtab and __ksymtab_gpl sections. The patch makes abidiff and abidw detect that a binary is a Linux Kernel binary (either a vmlinux or a module). It does this by detecting the presence of the speciall __ksymtab_strings section. If it detects that a binary is a Linux Kernel binary then it only considers functions and variables which are defined and exported in the sense of ELF *AND* which ELF symbols are listed in the __ksymtab and __ksymtab_gpl sections. If users want abidiff and abidw to consider their input binaries as normal ELF binaries then they can use the option --no-linux-kernel-mode. * include/abg-dwarf-reader.h (create_read_context): Take a new flag to say if the context is to read an ELF binary in linux kernel mode. * src/abg-dwarf-reader.cc (typedef address_set_type) (address_set_sptr): New typedefs.

* ``--no-linux-kernel-mode``
Without this option, if abipkgiff detects that the binaries it is
looking at are Linux Kernel binaries (either vmlinux or modules)
then it only considers functions and variables which ELF symbols
are listed in the __ksymtab and __ksymtab_gpl sections.
With this option, abipkgdiff considers the binary as a non-special
ELF binary. It thus considers functions and variables which are
defined and exported in the ELF sense.
* ``--check-alternate-debug-info`` <*elf-path*>
If the debug info for the file *elf-path* contains a reference to
an `alternate debug info <alt-di-label>`_ file, ``abidw`` checks
that it can find that alternate debug info file. In that case, it
emits a meaningful success message mentioning the full path to the
alternate debug info file found. Otherwise, it emits an error
code.

Add support for abicompat weak mode This patch implements the weak mode of abicompat. In this mode, just the application and the new version of the library are provided. The types of functions and variables of the library that are consumed by the application are compared to the types of the functions and variables expected by the application. The goal is to check if the types of the declarations consumed by the application and provided by the library are compatible with what the application expects. The abicompat first gets the set of symbols undefined in the application and exported by the library. It then builds the set of declarations exported by the library that have those symbols. We call these the set of declarations of the library that are consumed by the application. Note that the debug information for the application does not contain the declarations of the functions/variables whose symbols are undefined. So we can not just read them to compare them to declarations exported by the library. But the *types* of the variables and the *sub-types* of the functions whose symbols are undefined in the application are present in the debug information of the application. So in the weak mode, abicompat compare the *types* of the declarations consumed by the application as expected by the application (described by the debug information of the application) with the types of the declarations exported by the library. To do this a number of changes were necessary. The patch builds a representation of all the types found in the application's debug info. Before that, only the types that are reachable from exported declarations were represented. The abidw tool got a new --load-all-types to test this new ability of loading all types. The patch also adds support for looking a type, not by name, but by its internal representation. In the comparison engine, function_type_diff is introduced to represent changes between two function types. For this, a new class type_or_decl_base has been introduced in the IR. It's now the base class for both decl_base and type_base. And abigail::comparison::diff now takes two pointers of type_or_decl, not decl_base anymore. So function_type_diff can take two function_type now; not that a function_type has no declaration so it doesn't inherit decl_base. A bunch of changes got made just to adjust to this modification. A number of fixes were made too, to make this work, like adding missing comparison operators, removing asserts that too strong, etc.. The patch also adjust the test suite as well as the documentation. * include/abg-fwd.h (class type_or_decl_base): Forward declare this.

By default, ``libabigail`` (and thus ``abidw``) only loads types
that are reachable from functions and variables declarations that
are publicly defined and exported by the binary. So only those
types are present in the output of ``abidw``. This option however
makes ``abidw`` load *all* the types defined in the binaries, even
those that are not reachable from public declarations.
* ``--abidiff``
Load the ABI of the ELF binary given in argument, save it in
libabigail's XML format in a temporary file; read the ABI from the
temporary XML file and compare the ABI that has been read back
against the ABI of the ELF binary given in argument. The ABIs
should compare equal. If they don't, the program emits a
diagnostic and exits with a non-zero code.
This is a debugging and sanity check option.
Add a --stats to abidiff and abidw For now, this new --stats emits diagnostics about the number of types canonicalized at the very end of building the ABI corpus as well as the number of types that were scheduled for late canonicalizing and that couldn't be canonicalized. * include/abg-dwarf-reader.h (get_show_stats) (set_show_stats): New accessors for a new "show_stats" property of the dwarf reader context. * src/abg-dwarf-reader.cc: Include iostream to use std::cerr. (dwarf_reader::show_stats_): New data member. (dwarf_reader::dwarf_reader): Initialize it. (dwarf_reader::show_stats) (get_show_stats) (set_show_stats): Define new accessors. (dwarf_reader::die_type_map): Add const overload to this accessor. (dwarf_reader::lookup_type_from_die_offset): Make this accessor const. (dwarf_reader::add_late_canonicalized_types_stats): New member function. (dwarf_reader::perform_late_type_canonicalizing): Emit the statistics about late-canonicalized types if the user asked for it. * tools/abidiff.cc (options::show_stats): New data member. (options::options): Initialize it. (display_usage): Document it. (parse_command_line): Parse the new --stats option. (main): Create a dwarf reader context, set the show_stats to it and then use that context to read the corpora before diffing them. * tools/abidw.cc (options::show_stats): New data member. (options::options): Initialize it. (display_usage): Document it. (parse_command_line): Parse the new --stats option. (main): Set the show_stats to the dwarf reader context before using it. * doc/manuals/abidiff.rst: Update the manual. * doc/manuals/abidw.rst: Update the manual.
