   Jan 31, 2010 · If the ABI changes but the API does not, then the old and new library versions are sometimes called "source compatible". This implies that while a program compiled for one library version will not work with the other, source code written for one will work for the other if re-compiled.

   Apr 24, 2024 · If the major version changes, this indicates an incompatible change to the API or ABI. This means that the consumer will have to change their code to move up to this new version. For example, removing a method, or adding or removing parameters to a method would count as a significant version change.

   Jan 5, 2024 · Changes to the ABI (Application Binary Interface) and API (Application Programming Interface) can significantly affect software compatibility. Understanding these effects is imperative to ensure seamless interaction between software components and to manage potential disruptions effectively.

   Jun 21, 2023 · In some languages, such as Swift, the standard library is ABI stable — that is, even source-breaking changes to the runtime or standard library must remain backwards-compatible with already-compiled programs. Additionally, programs compiled with a newer version of the compiler that don’t use new runtime components must continue to work with ...

   Oct 14, 2015 · The two are basically independent; you can also make changes that break API but not ABI (such as renaming a field in a structure). In that case, existing compiled code will continue to work, but you have to change the source code before you can compile it again.

   What happens if ABI changes but the API does not?

   • Sometimes, ABI changes are unavoidable. When this happens, any programs that use that library will not work unless they are re-compiled to use the new version of the library. If the ABI changes but the API does not, then the old and new library versions are sometimes called "source compatible".

   What is an ABI change?

   • An ABI change is where code that has already been compiled against version 1 will no longer work with version 2 of a codebase (usually a library). This is generally trickier to keep track of than API-incompatible change since something as simple as adding a virtual method to a class can be ABI incompatible.

   How do I know if I've made an API change?

   • Any time you change a header, and it forces you to change something in a .c/.cpp file, you've made an API-change. An ABI change is where code that has already been compiled against version 1 will no longer work with version 2 of a codebase (usually a library).

   What is the difference between API and Abi in Java?

   • In a Java application, for example, the API of a library would be the library’s source code, and the ABI would be the class files that the application works in terms of. Often, the ABI of a piece of software is directly linked to the API. This is not surprising since the ABI is simply the API but expressed in compiled form instead.

   Can I change the ABI for a compiler?

   • Consider the C standard library and Posix. One is mandated by the language the other by the OS. However they overlap considerably. You are not free to change the ABI for a compiler is it is mandated by the OS. If the OS ABI changes all packages on that OS may have to be recompiled.

   Totally stable: no changes are allowed to the API, only to the implementation. Typically, projects commit to backwards-compatibility when they say an API is ‘stable’. Very few projects commit to total stability because it would prevent almost all further development of the project.
