Neil Horman March 4, 2015, 4:26 p.m. UTC
  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.

I think INT is preffered over SIGINT.
You may also add QUIT and TERM.
With QUIT, you can replace cleanup_and_exit calls by a simple exit.

May be simpler "git log -1 --format=%H"

I think it may be removed as no app is run.

So you prefer modifying defconfig instead of .config, right?
(you sent it while I was answering on v2)

Already exported.

Could be OLDNAME=$(basename $i 1.dump)0.dump

Could be LIBNAME=$(basename $i -ABI-1.dump)

Thanks

It might be, but the above is equivalent, and --format is a more recent git-log
feature.  Older versions still require --pretty=format

The above doesn't indicate that an application will be run, only that the
purpose of this script is to ensure that older applications will still run,
which I think is appropriate.

Yes, correct.

It could be, but I prefer the clarity of the sed replacement.

OK, could you send a v4 please?

If the build fails while TAG1 is checked out, the user must check out their original local branch manually. I'd prefer it if the script checked out $CURRENT_BRANCH in the 'cleanup_and_exit' function. 

Same applies to TAG2, if the user CTRL-C's out of the script, and to any other command that might fail when a particular branch/tag is checked out (for example, the 'sed' commands fail when I run the script; however, they work when I run them on the command line - I'm investigating this currently).

What does the log say?  Please post it here.  If it helps add a set -x to the
top of the script for additional verbosity.

Hey Neil - this is the error, but it's not a problem with the script; presumably I'd cleaned my DPDK installation directory, so 'sed' couldn't find the defconfig file:
"sed: can't read config/defconfig_x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc/: Not a directory"

Thanks,
Mark

Actually, it looks to me like you added a trailing "/" to the end of the third
argument on the script command line, so sed bombs when it tries to modify a
directory instead of a file.  Try specifying:
x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc
instead of
x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc/
