Hello,
The API/ABI interface of the libguestfs library is now checked for backward compatibility
in the Upstream Tracker project:
https://abi-laboratory.pro/tracker/timeline/libguestfs/
Hope the report will be helpful for users and maintainers of the library.
A few things:
You can ignore guestfs_internal_* APIs. As the name suggests no ABI
guarantees are made for those symbols.
I don't agree with the conclusions in this web page related to
guestfs_add_domain_argv and guestfs_add_drive_opts_argv:
https://abi-laboratory.pro/tracker/compat_report/libguestfs/1.26.10/1.28....
The initial bitmask in the struct controls which fields are present,
and we handle old caller / new library (and indeed new caller / old
library) correctly as far as I know.
I understand that there's insufficient information in a C header file
to really describe this stuff, but there we are.
