When using abipkgdiff types that are defined in files not present in
the devel packages provided by the --devel1 and --devel2 option are
dropped from the internal representation by default.
This has been designed as such, not only to avoid showing changes on
types that are not part of the public headers of a shared library, but
also to help lower the memory consumption of libabigail.
In this particular bug report, we see a library that uses types (in
its public interface) that are defined in headers of a *different*
package. For instance, suppose a particular package foo that uses
types defined in headers of the glib package. And some of those Glib
types can be present in its public interface.
So in this case, libabigail is dropping a type that is actually part
of the public interface of the library that is being analyzed, even if
the type was not defined in the devel package of the current package.
This patch addresses the issue by doing a number of things:
1/ If a type is defined in a file which path starts with
"/usr/include/", then consider it as a public type. This is so
that type coming from the public interface of other packages, and
that are defined in system headers are considered as part of the
public types of the package being analyzed.
2/ by default, don't drop types not defined in the associated
devel package. This will hinder our ability to decrease the
memory usage, but there have been a number of recent optimization
that help in that regard independently. So I am hoping this
shouldn't have a big impact now.
Incidentally, the option --dont-drop-private-types (from abidiff)
is changed into --drop-private-types, so that interested users can
still drop non-private types from the model, if they wish. That
--drop-private-types option is added to abipkgdiff too.
As the offended types are not dropped from the model anymore, the
usual filtering mechanisms of libabigail can take place.
* doc/manuals/abidiff.rst (--dont-drop-private-types): Remove documentation.
(--drop-private-types): Document this new option.
* src/abg-tools-utils.cc: Update copyright notice
(handle_fts_entry): On the generated suppression specification, do
not set the flag to drop matched types. Also, don't match types
defined in files which patch start with "/usr/include/".
* tools/abidiff.cc (options::options): Initialize the
drop_private_types data member to false.
(display_usage): Remove usage string for
--dont-drop-private-types. Add a new one for
--drop-private-types.
(parse_command_line): Don't part --dont-drop-private-types,
rather, parse --drop-private-types.
(set_suppressions): When the suppression for private types is
generated, if --drop-private-types was provided, then instruct the
suppression to drop matched types.
* tools/abipkgdiff.cc (options::drop_private_types): New option.
(options::options): Initialize the new drop_private_types data
member to false.
(display_usage): Add a usage string for --drop-private-types.
(parse_command_line): Parse the new --drop-private-types option.
(maybe_create_private_types_suppressions): Don't take just a
package, but a package_descriptor because the latter carries the
options. So when the user used the --drop-private-types option,
make the generated private types suppression to drop matched
types.
* tests/data/test-diff-pkg/tbb-4.1-9.20130314.fc22.x86_64--tbb-4.3-3.20141204.fc23.x86_64-report-1.txt:
Adjust.
* tests/test-diff-suppr.cc (in_out_specs): Likewise.

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 compare two ABI Corpora (apparently the plural of corpus is copora, heh, that's cool), provide detailed information about their differences, and help build tools to infer interesting conclusions about these differences. You are welcome to contribute to this project after reading the files CONTRIBUTING and COMMIT-LOG-GUIDELINES files in the source tree. Communicating with the maintainers of this project -- including sending patches to be include to the source code -- happens via email at libabigail@sourceware.org.
