There are resources needed by the type system and other artifacts of libabigail. Today, when the life time of those resources need to be greater than all of artifacts of Abigail, then said resources are made global. But then global resources are not great, if anything because they complicate the future use of the library in concurrent computing setups. As I was in the need to add one resource to be used by the type system, I decided to sit down and first overhaul how these long lived resources needed to be handled. And here comes the concept of "environment". An environment is a place where one can put resources that need to live longer than all the other artifacts of the Abigail system. And so, the code that creates Abigail artifacts needs and environment of for said artifacts to use. In other words, artifacts now use an environment. This has interesting and strong implications. We can only compare two artifacts if they use the same environment. This is quite a strong requirement. But then when this requirement is fulfilled, comparing two types amounts to just comparing two pointer values; hash values for types can also be cached. Now *that* is great for speed of comparison, is it not? This patch introduce the concept environment (which is basically a new abigail::ir::environment type), removes the global variables and uses the environment instead. Each ABI artifact (either type or decl) now has a ::get_environment() member function to get its environment. This patch also disables the caching of hash values because the caching must happen only *after* all types have been canonicalized. We were not respecting that requirement until now, and that introduces wrong hash values. A subsequent patch is going to re-introduce hash value caching again, once the infrastructure is in place to set a flag in the environment (hah!) once type canonicalization is done, and then later read that flag when some client code requests a hash value, to know if we should look in the hash value cache or not. The patch obviously changes the output of numerous regression tests (if anything b/c it disables hash value caching) so 'make check' yields regressions. But then, it's only the subsequent patch that updates the tests. * include/abg-ir.h: Adjust note about memory management. (class environment): Declare new class.

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.
