first thanks a lot for your really helpfull comment.

sorry, I saw str and my brean tought it was std::string.
I recompiled the tango project with the -Wabi-tag
now I have thousands of line like this.

I filtered the line which explain explicitely that the symbol inherit from the cxx11 ABI.
If I understand you correctly I need to fix each of these symbols by adding your #define snipset. (right ?)
It seems to me that this is a HUGE task and it "polute" the code with this snipset everywhere.
I mean is it something really specific to gcc ?, what about other c++ compiler, I especially think about msvc abd clang.
What i understand is that this is just a waning saying that a problem can occure when someone use one of these symbols in the incriminate .h file.
I imagine also that not all libraries where instrumented like that.
since the problem show up for me at runtime. I have the filling that I have a damocles sword above my head. Maybe there is something that I do not understand correctly :)
In another hand only a few of these symbols cause troubles practcally (the used one, so only the one in the public API).
Do you have some practical advise in order to fix this problem with a minimal impact on all the code.
thanks a lot for your help
