A Compliance Checker For library ABIs
ABI Compliance Checker (ACC) is an easy-to-use tool for checking backward binary compatibility (BC) of a shared C/C++ library. It checks header files along with shared libraries of old and new versions and analyzes changes in Application Binary Interface (ABI) that may cause compatibility problems: changes in calling stack, v-table changes, removed symbols, etc. Breakage of the binary compatibility may result in crashing or incorrect behavior of applications built with an old version of the library if they run on a new one. The tool is intended for library developers and operating system maintainers who are interested in ensuring binary compatibility, i.e. allow old applications to run with newer library versions without the need to recompile.

Revision 29 (latest revision is 30)
- Add -fpermissive to compiler flags invoked byt the testsuite because the generated files there do not have proper includes and so cause compiler errors with GCC 14. I was looking where in the perl script the C source code is generated but I was unable to persuade it to generate also the necessary includes in reasonable time. Someone more familiar with the code bas or perl in general may have better luck. Still, I'd appreciate if meanwhile we use this work around so that the package does not start failing when we switch the default compiler. If the request is OK, please forward it to Factory soon too so that the package is ready when we switch the default compiler. Thanks.
