g++5 ABI test tool ================== This is a simple tool to test a system for g++5's glibmm at runtime. GCC5.1 introduced a new ABI for the C++ standard library. The old 3.4 .. 5.0 ABI is not compatible. By default gcc provides a dual ABI, so testing libstc++ itself is not sufficient. Some GNU/Linux distributions systems switched to the new ABI already and compile *plugins* with the new gcc. If a plugin uses a c++ library that is also shipped with ardour-bundles, the ABI of that library must match. Currently known cases: gtkmm, glibmm. e.g. Ingen or eq10q provided by a distro compiled with gcc5 will not load in Ardour from ardour.org compiled with gcc4 because ardour ships an incompatible gtkmm, glibmm, cairomm, ... Likewise Ardour gcc5-compiled binaries will fail to load plugins that are compiled with gcc4. This simiple tool `gcc-glibmm-abi-check` checks for gcc4/gcc5 specific symbols in libglibmm (a common denominator C++ lib), it is intended to be run when deploying ardour binaries.
