           Summary: Suppressions incomplete?

Dump files and suppressions file

I'm risking making a fool of myself again. Maybe I made a mistake...

I have a suppressions file like so:

[suppress_function]
    name_regexp = boost::.*
    change_kind = added-function

[suppress_function]
    name_regexp = std::.*
    change_kind = added-function

[suppress_function]
    name_regexp = unity::scopes::testing::.*
    change_kind = added-function

Command is:

$ abidiff --no-unreferenced-symbols --suppressions suppressions
libunity-scopes_1.0.0.abi.xml libunity-scopes_1.0.3.abi.xml

The suppressions are there to get rid of function template instantiations for
things that were added after the baseline ABI.

The suppressions work to a large degree. The boost suppression gets rid of all
boost added functions. The std and unity::scopes::testing suppressions match
many, but not all, of the functions in their respective namespaces, so the
output still shows 33 added functions.

It's not clear to me why.

A version of the committed patch that fixes the issue, but without regression
tests

I am attaching a version of the committed patch, but without regression testing
material.  This makes it easy to back-port the patch, without having to carry
binary content (present in the regression testing bits of the committed patch)
around.

Before I risk getting some false explanation, could you tell me if the
suppression specificication below works?

 [suppress_function]
     name_regexp = boost::.*
     change_kind = added-function
     allow_other_aliases = false

 [suppress_function]
     name_regexp = std::.*
     change_kind = added-function
     allow_other_aliases = false

 [suppress_function]
     name_regexp = unity::scopes::testing::.*
     change_kind = added-function
     allow_other_aliases = false

(Note the new allow_other_aliases property that got added)

> It's not clear to me why.

Again, we'd have needed more feedback from the tool here :(

But then if the supressions above wortk I think I have an idea of what
the issue is.

This is a bug, indeed.

The change report about the added function should have been suppressed by that
suppression specification that you provided.

The use of the undocumented "allow_other_aliases = false" should be considered
as a temporary workaround.

The problem should be fixed in the master branch of the git repository by
commit
https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=libabigail.git;a=commit;h=1eecd89ee1fca9a5a5c4dc656c88dd9a739c5683.
 The commit log of that patch does have an extensive explanation of the
underlying problem, in case you are interested.

You should thus, eventually, be able to do away with the use of the
undocumented "allow_other_aliases" property.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I just tried to reproduce, but can't now. (I'm on a different machine, and it's
late. I may have made a mistake.)

Do you see the problem I described with the attached files?

After adding allow_other_aliases = false, the additional symbols are
suppressed, thanks!

I find this surprising though; if I say "suppress every function and the std::
namespace", that's just what should happen.
