I should mention one of the others here: https://github.com/skozina/kabi-dw It's quite comparable to libabigail in the way it works, the main differences are: - written in pure C - depends only on elf-utils and flex/yacc - it's much simpler (4k LOC) - stores the type information in the text files and compares those instead of directly comparing two sets of DWARF data Regards, -Stanislav
