Examples & Case Encyclopedia¶
This catalog covers 190 cases demonstrating real-world ABI/API change scenarios for C/C++ shared libraries. Most cases are a minimal compilable v1/v2 pair plus a consumer (app.c/app.cpp) that demonstrates the actual runtime effect; some build-mode cases ship only the v1/v2 sources plus a per-side compile_commands.json.
Use this catalog to:
- Learn what kinds of changes break ABI vs. which are safe.
- See the runtime failure mode for each break (crash, wrong output, silent corruption…).
- Look up the mitigation pattern for a specific change.
- Cross-reference detected
ChangeKinds with concrete reproductions.
Ground truth. Expected verdicts and detected change kinds live in
examples/ground_truth.jsonand are the single source of truth — these pages are generated from that file plus per-caseREADME.mdfiles underexamples/.
Verdict distribution¶
| Verdict | Count | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 🔴 BREAKING | 107 | ABI breaks: existing consumers will fail at runtime. |
| 🟠 API_BREAK | 17 | Source-level / API-only breaks; recompilation fails or behavior shifts. |
| 🟡 COMPATIBLE_WITH_RISK | 29 | Backward-compatible at the symbol level but with behavioral risk. |
| 🟢 COMPATIBLE | 30 | Backward-compatible changes (additions or quality-only). |
| ✅ NO_CHANGE | 7 | Identical ABI/API — baseline control cases. |
How to read a case page¶
Each case page starts with a metadata table (verdict, category, platforms, detected change kinds) followed by:
- What changes / what breaks — the source diff between v1 and v2.
- Why abicheck (or abidiff/ABICC) catches it — detection mechanism.
- Real Failure Demo — exact shell commands that reproduce the runtime effect.
- How to fix — the mitigation pattern, where the README documents one.
- Real-world example — historical occurrences in widely-used libraries.
- References — links to relevant standards, manuals, and abicheck source.
Source files (v1.*, v2.*, app.*, CMakeLists.txt) are listed at the bottom of every page.
Browse by category¶
| Category | Cases | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Breaking | 107 | Listed in BREAKING_KINDS — runtime ABI break. |
| API Break | 17 | Listed in API_BREAK_KINDS — source/API-level break. |
| Risk | 29 | Listed in RISK_KINDS — symbol-compatible but behaviorally risky. |
| Addition (Compatible) | 9 | Listed in ADDITION_KINDS — backward-compatible additions. |
| Quality (Compatible) | 21 | Listed in QUALITY_KINDS — metadata/quality issues, not ABI breaks. |
| No Change | 7 | Identical ABI/API — sanity-check baselines. |

Gaps in the numbering are expected. Some case numbers (e.g. 84, 90–93) are multi-library bundle cases that are not part of this single-library catalog; they are documented in the repository under
examples/and indexed inexamples/README.md. The list below is sorted by case number.
