Overview
========
The upstream code repository of Libabigail contains several tools
written using the library. They are maintained and released as part
of the project.
Tools manuals
=============
* :doc:`abidiff`
Initial implementation of the abicompat tool Given an application A that links to a shared library L of version V denoted L(V) and a subsequent version of that library denoted L(V+P), the 'abicompat' tool tells the user if L(V+P) is still ABI compatible with L(V+P). And if it is not, abicompat gives a reports that shows the differences between L(V) and L(V+P) that makes L(V+P) ABI-incompatible with A. The source code of this tool is in the tools/abicompat.cc source file. To support this new tool, this commit changes the comparison engine to optionally avoid showing added symbols that were not referenced by any debug info. It changes the ABI corpus type to allow the specification of a list of variables and functions symbols to keep (and drop all other functions and variables which have other symbols on the floor even before starting to compare the two libraries). This is how the abicompat tool itself works. It basically compares L(V) and L(V+P) but it only looks at their exported functions and variables which symbols are undefined in application A. If the list of exported and defined variables and functions of L(V) whose symbols are undefined in A equals that of L(V+P) (including the sub-types of these variables and functions) A is still compatible with L(V+P). Otherwise, they might not be compatible depending on the kind of differences that are found. * include/abg-comparison.h (diff_context::show_added_symbols_unreferenced_by_debug_info): Declare new accessors. (corpus_diff::{deleted_variables, deleted_unrefed_function_symbols, deleted_unrefed_variable_symbols, apply_filters_and_suppressions_before_reporting}): Declare new methods. (corpus_diff::diff_stats): Declare this new type. Actually this was previously corpus_diff::priv::diff_stats, which was a hidden internal type.. We are moving it here, in the external API so that client code can have more information about changes statistics. Change all the previously publicly accessible data members into accessor functions. * src/abg-comparison.cc (class corpus_diff::diff_stats::priv): New type. (diff_context::priv::show_added_syms_unreferenced_by_di_): New data member. (diff_context::priv::priv): Adjust. (diff_context::show_added_symbols_unreferenced_by_debug_info): Define this new method. (corpus_diff::priv::emit_diff_stats): Do not show the diff stat if the only changes is added function or variables symbols and if we were instructed to not show added symbols. (corpus_diff::priv::{diff_stats_, filters_and_suppr_applied_}): New data members. (corpus_diff::priv::priv): Initialize the filters_and_suppr_applied_ data member. (corpus_diff::priv::diff_stats): Move this type to corpus_diff::diff_stats. (corpus_diff::priv::{apply_filters_and_compute_diff_stats, emit_diff_stats}): Adjust. (corpus_diff::apply_filters_and_suppressions_before_reporting): Define new member function. (corpus_diff::report): Use the new apply_filters_and_suppressions_before_reporting() function, rather than applying the filters and suppressions by ourselves. Also adjust to the use the accessors of the new corpus_diff::diff_stats type. (corpus_diff::{deleted_variables, deleted_unrefed_function_symbols, deleted_unrefed_variable_symbols}): Define new accessors. (corpus_diff::diff_stats::{diff_stats, num_func_removed, num_func_added, num_func_changed, num_func_filtered_out, net_num_func_changed, num_vars_removed, num_vars_added, num_vars_changed, num_vars_filtered_out, net_num_vars_changed, num_func_sym_removed, num_func_syms_added, num_var_syms_removed, num_var_syms_added}): Define new member functions. * include/abg-corpus.h (corpus::{get_sym_ids_of_fns_to_keep, get_sym_ids_of_vars_to_keep}): Declare new methods. * src/abg-corpus.cc (corpus::priv::{sym_id_fns_to_keep, sym_id_vars_to_keep}): Added data members. (symtab_build_visitor_type::{unrefed_fun_symbols, unrefed_var_symbols, sym_id_fns_to_keep, sym_id_vars_to_keep}): Added new data members. (symtab_build_visitor_type::symtab_build_visitor_type): Take two additional parameters for the function and variable symbol ids to keep. (symtab_build_visitor_type::add_fn_to_wip_fns): Take the function symbols to keep in account when building the exported symbol table. (symtab_build_visitor_type::add_var_to_wip_vars): Likewise, take the variable symbols to keep in account when building the exported symbol table. (corpus::priv::build_public_decl_table): Adjust the initialization of the visitor that walks the ABI artifacts to build the exported symbol table to know take a list of function/variable symbols to keep. (corpus::priv::build_unreferenced_symbols_tables): Ensure that the public table of functions/variables is built before doing the work of this function. Also, if a list of variable/function symbols to keep is given, drop all symbols that are not in that list on the floor. (corpus::{get_sym_ids_of_fns_to_keep, get_sym_ids_of_vars_to_keep}): Define new accessors. * tools/abicompat.cc: New abicompat tool. * doc/manuals/abicompat.rst: New documentation source for abicompat. * doc/manuals/libabigail-tools.rst: Add an entry for the abicompat doc. * tests/test-abicompat.cc: New test harness for the 'abicompat' tool. * tests/Makefile.am: Build the runtestabicompat test harness and add it to the list of tests harnesses that are run by make check. * tests/data/test-abicompat/libtest0-fn-changed-libapp-v0.so: New test input. * tests/data/test-abicompat/libtest0-fn-changed-libapp-v1.so: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test0-fn-changed-app: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test0-fn-changed-0.suppr: Likewise * tests/data/test-abicompat/test0-fn-changed-report-0.txt: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test0-fn-changed-report-1.txt: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test0-fn-changed-app.cc: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test0-fn-changed-libapp.h: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test0-fn-changed-libapp-v0.cc: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test0-fn-changed-libapp-v1.cc: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/libtest1-fn-removed-v0.so: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/libtest1-fn-removed-v1.so: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test1-fn-removed-app: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test1-fn-removed-app.cc: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test1-fn-removed-report-0.txt: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test1-fn-removed-v0.cc: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test1-fn-removed-v1.cc: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/libtest2-var-removed-v0.so: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/libtest2-var-removed-v1.so: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test2-var-removed-app: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test2-var-removed-app.cc: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test2-var-removed-report-0.txt: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test2-var-removed-v0.cc: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test2-var-removed-v1.cc: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/libtest3-fn-removed-v0.so: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/libtest3-fn-removed-v1.so: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test3-fn-removed-app: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test3-fn-removed-app.cc: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test3-fn-removed-report-0.txt: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test3-fn-removed-v0.cc: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test3-fn-removed-v1.cc: Likewise. * tests/data/test-abicompat/test3-fn-removed-version-script-0 Likewise.: * tests/data/test-abicompat/test3-fn-removed-version-script-1: Likewise. * tests/data/Makefile.am: Add the new test inputs above to the source distribution.
