Dodji Seketeli caa100603e Bug 23708 - categorize void* to pointer change as harmless
Changing a void* pointer into another pointer of the same size is a
change that is harmless in terms of data layout.

This commit thus categorizes such a change as harmless.

	* include/abg-comparison.h (VOID_PTR_TO_PTR_CHANGE_CATEGORY): New
	enumerator in the diff_category enum.  Also, adjust the
	EVERYTHING_CATEGORY enumerator.
	* include/abg-fwd.h (is_void_pointer_type): Declare new function.
	* src/abg-comp-filter.cc (has_void_ptr_to_ptr_change): Define new
	static function and ...
	(categorize_harmless_diff_node): ... use it here.
	* src/abg-comparison.cc (get_default_harmless_categories_bitmap):
	Add the new abigail::comparison::VOID_PTR_TO_PTR_CHANGE_CATEGORY
	category in here.
	(operator<<(ostream& o, diff_category c)): Add support for the new
	VOID_PTR_TO_PTR_CHANGE_CATEGORY.
	* src/abg-ir.cc	(is_void_pointer_type): Define new function.
	* tests/data/Makefile.am: Add the new test material below to source distribution.
	* tests/data/test-diff-filter/test47-filter-void-ptr-change-report-0.txt:
	New test reference output.
	* tests/data/test-diff-filter/test47-filter-void-ptr-change-v{0,1}.c:
	Source code of the new binary test input below.
	* tests/data/test-diff-filter/test47-filter-void-ptr-change-v{0,1}.o:
	New binary test input.
	* tests/test-diff-filter.cc: Add the test input/output above to
	test harness.

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
