Thanks, that is interesting, but I don't understand what you mean by problems with symbols? http://abi-laboratory.pro/tracker/compat_report/gupnp/0.20.14/0.20.15/19986/abi_compat_report.html

Are you going to add GSSDP and other glib libraries as well?

 

The section "Problems with Symbols" of the report describes changes in signatures of ABI symbols (e.g. change of a parameter type or return value type of a function, adding/removing parameters, etc.).

 

Report for GSSDP is here: http://abi-laboratory.pro/tracker/timeline/gssdp/

 

I'm testing the tool on a wide range of popular and maintained open-source libraries. The list of all analyzed libraries: http://abi-laboratory.pro/tracker/

 

The source code of the tracker (profiles for libraries and scripts): https://github.com/lvc/upstream-tracker

 

Thank you.
