            Bug ID: 27552
           Summary: libandroid.so missing symbol type information
           Product: libabigail
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: default
          Assignee: dodji at redhat dot com
          Reporter: gprocida+abigail at google dot com
                CC: libabigail at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

The libandroid.so library is now part of the libabigail test suite, as is an
ABI extracted from this.

I noticed that the names used of the ELF symbols and the names of declared
variables and functions, as found in the ABI, are disjoint.

I verified that:
1. if a symbol is added or removed, this is reported
2. if any type information changes, this is not reported

An examination of libandroid.so with nm -o and dwarfdump confirms that symbol
names are properly present in the DWARF.

For example, from the dwarfdump:

If I discover anything further, I'll follow up here.
