Mechanism for Managing Support Criteria-Based Application Binary Interface/Application Programming Interface Differences

摘要

A method for maintaining support criteria-based application binary interface/application programming interface differences is described. The method may include extracting binary files relating to a plurality of versions of a software program. The binary files include support criteria associated with shared libraries used by the plurality of versions of the software program. The method may further include detecting interfaces associated with the shared libraries. The method may further include marking the detected interfaces based on their corresponding support criteria. The interfaces include first interfaces associated with a first version of the plurality of versions, and second interfaces associated with a second version of the plurality of versions. The method may further include examining interface differences between the first and second interfaces.
