Description
As discussed in today's Feb 22, 2023 community meeting:
- Need tooling to detect ABI changes in CI, instead of relying on code review only
- There was some research done earlier on one of the tools- ABI Compliance Checker (lvc.github.io), but good to compare other alternatives before finalizing.
- The scope of the validation is only the API change, and otel-cpp doesn't guarantee ABI compatibility for SDK code.
