yuangongji 735c891e71 Add API/ABI checker (using LVC)
v2 (by azat):
- drop package installations
- use local .abi-check over $HOME/abi-check for build dir
- drop regex check, simply use default values (too complex otherwise)
- use sub-shell to avoid cd back
- add missing quotes
- make the style uniq across the whole file (no tabs for indent, copy-paste?)
- drop `set -x`, use `bash -x abi-check.sh` over
- drop EVENT_ABI_CHECK
- use /usr/bin/env bash as shebang
- use `find | xargs` over `cp $(grep -v)`
- adjust markdown syntax in abi-check/README.md
- adjust link to the publicly available documentation

v3 (by azat):

libevent ABI/API changes

This script is used to generate information about changes in libevent ABI/API between various versions using LVC tools. Such an overview can help developers migrate from one version to another.

Here is the abi_check.sh, which is used to generate ABI/API timeline for libevent.

You can limit the number of included libevent versions via a number given as a parameter to the script. For example

$ ./abi_check.sh 3

generates overview for the last 3 versions and the current version. If no parameter given, it will generate overview for the last 2 versions and the current version by default.

But this script requires some tools that are available in the following docker image:

docker.pkg.github.com/azat/docker-images/lvc-debian

And the full command looks like:

  docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/src:ro -w /src -v tmp/le-abi-check-root:/abi-root -e ABI_CHECK_ROOT=/abi-root docker.pkg.github.com/azat/docker-images/lvc-debian /src/extra/abi-check/abi_check.sh

'timeline/libevent/index.html' is the final result and can be viewed here
