Description: 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.
