Dodji Seketeli 425f8a4ec4 Detect vtable changes from member function changes
This patch adds vtable changes detection based on the detection of
virtual member function changes.  That is, when a member function
changes, if that member function is virtual, then infer if the change
implies changes to the vtable of the containing class.

Before that patch, we were doing the vtable change detection when we
were comparing two classes; we were then comparing their virtual
member functions.  But as for a given class all its virtual member
functions are not necessarily emitted in the DWARF debug info (only
the virtual member functions that are used in a given translation unit
are emitted in that translation unit) it's not reliable to compare
virtual member functions as part of comparing a given class.  We thus
decided some patches ago to stop comparing virtual member functions
when we compare two classes.

So with this patch now, we still detect changes to the vtable and emit
an appropriate message to the user.

	report changes to a vtable by looking a changes that can happen to
	a given member function.
	(corpus_diff::report): Detect and report changes to vtables by
	looking at changes change to member functions.

This is the Application Binary Interface Generic Analysis and
Instrumentation Library.

It aims at constructing, manipulating, serializing and de-serializing
ABI-relevant artifacts.

The set of artifacts that we are intersted is made of quantities like
types, variable, fonctions and declarations of a given library or
program.  For a given library or program this set of quantities is
called an ABI corpus.

This library aims at (among other things) providing a way to comparing
two ABI Corpuses, provide detailed information about their
differences, and help build tools to infer interesting conclusions
about these differences.
