# Userspace-RCU ABI definitions This directory contains the serialized ABI definitions for a typical build of the liburcu libraries. This information is extracted using [libabigail](https://sourceware.org/libabigail/). The artefacts used to generate these were built with **CFLAGS="-O0 -ggdb"** on an Ubuntu 18.04 x86_64 system. You can compare the serialized ABI with a shared object to check for breaking changes. For example, here we compare an in-tree built version of **liburcu-memb.so** with the serialized ABI of stable-0.13 : ```` abidiff \ extras/abi/0.13/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/liburcu-memb.so.8.xml \ src/.libs/liburcu-memb.so ````
