            Bug ID: 20058
           Summary: Add a suppression specification directive to avoid
                    loading some binaries
           Product: libabigail
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: default
          Assignee: dodji at redhat dot com
          Reporter: dodji at redhat dot com
                CC: libabigail at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

A project can have shared libraries that are meant to be loaded for purposes
that are only internal to the project.

So there should be a way to avoid taking these 'internal' shared libraries into
account when comparing the ABI of the libraries of the project.

So there should be a new kind of suppression specification directive (and
properties) that allow us to blacklist the private libraries like:

  [suppress_file]
    file_name_regexp = <name-of-the-private-shared-libraries>

That directive should prevent the tool from loading the private libraries
altogether.

Similarly, there should be some property that allow us to whitelist the public
shared libraries that should be taken into account for ABI comparison:

  [suppress_file]
    file_name_not_regexp = <name-of-the-public-shared-libraries>
