Dodji Seketeli ef7e71febf 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.

	if the only changes is added function or variables symbols and if
	we were instructed to not show added symbols.

	New data members.

	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.

	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.
