abi-tracker

visualize ABI changes of a C/C++ library

abi-tracker generates an ABI (Application Binary Interface) compatibility report for a C or C++ library. The report gets rendered to static HTML pages. The tool is intended for developers of software libraries and Linux maintainers who are interested in ensuring backward binary compatibility, i.e. allow old applications to run with newer library versions. abi-tracker requires an input profile for the library in JSON format, which holds various metadata to check ABI compatibility. It can be created manually or automatically generated by the abi-monitor tool.
