Signatures and data type definitions from two separate versions of a library are compared by examining the shared objects (.so) files themselves, and by analysing the header files (.h) provided for the two versions of the library and their dependencies. . Shared library developers trying to strive for binary compatibility between releases may also use this tool to detect if an any accidental application binary interface (ABI) changes have been introduced. . The checker may also be used for assessing binary compatibility between different Linux distributions. Package: dh-acc Architecture: all Depends: abi-compliance-checker (= ${binary:Version}), debhelper, ${misc:Depends}, ${perl:Depends} Description: debhelper addon to compare ABI compatibility of shared C/C++ library versions dh-acc is an addon to facilitate generating ABI compatibility reports by comparing known ABI dumps with newly build ABI at Debian package build time. Thus providing monitoring and early detection of ABI breaks in shared libraries. . This package provides dh sequence addon and cdbs integration snippet.
