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.
