The audit/ folder contains various tools that are used to analyze API changes.
|
||||
|
||||
This analysis is done by inspecting the assembly binaries, so you need to
|
||||
compile them first.
|
||||
|
||||
The usual workflow is as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Generate the API info for the current version of the assemblies
|
||||
|
||||
./get-apiinfo.pl .. data/curr
|
||||
|
||||
This will find all *.dll files in Gtk#, produce one <assembly-name>.apiinfo
|
||||
file per DLL, and save them in the data/curr folder
|
||||
|
||||
2. Analyze differences between a baseline and the current API info
|
||||
|
||||
./get-apidiff.pl base data/curr data/diff
|
||||
|
||||
This will generate one <assembly-name>.apidiff file for each *.apiinfo file in
|
||||
the base folder, and save it in the data/diff folder.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Generate an HTML report for the API differences
|
||||
|
||||
mono gen-apidiff-html.exe data/diff html/diff.html
|
||||
|
||||
This will use the data in data/diff to generate a single HTML file and save it
|
||||
as html/diff.html. You can then open this file in a browser to review the API
|
||||
changes.
