> There was a request for an abi validation utilty for the ongoing ABI stability
> work. As it turns out there is a abi compliance checker in development that
> seems to be under active development and provides fairly detailed ABI compliance
> reports. Its not yet intellegent enough to understand symbol versioning, but it
> does provide the ability to identify symbols which have changed between
> releases, along with details of the change, and offers developers the
> opportunity to identify which symbols then need versioning and validation for a
> given update via manual testing.
>
> This script automates the use of the compliance checker between two arbitrarily
> specified tags within the dpdk tree. To execute enter the $RTE_SDK directory
> and run:
>
> ./scripts/validate_abi.sh $GIT_TAG1 $GIT_TAG2 $CONFIG
>
> where $GIT_TAG1 and 2 are git tags and $CONFIG is a config specification
> suitable for passing as the T= variable in the make config command.
>
> Note the upstream source for the abi compliance checker is here:
> http://ispras.linuxbase.org/index.php/ABI_compliance_checker
>
> It generates a report for each DSO built from the requested tags that developers
> can review to find ABI compliance issues.
