In that aspect abi-compliance-checker is better as it notifies of > ABI breakages and not just any changes. I am afraid things are not only that simple. For instance, if you have a function "void foo(struct something*p)", and there is a change in "struct something". That change is an ABI change. But it might or might be an ABI breakage. In that particular case, I think abi-compliance-checker won't notice that change. But it can be harmful. Please look at the code examples at https://sourceware.org/libabigail/manual/abidiff.html#usage-examples.
