As an added remark: The SOVERSION is not necessarily the same as the major version. The rule is that any breakage of the ABI must be indicated by incrementing the SOVERSION. So, adding e.g. functions is no problem, modifying argument lists or removing functions would required the SOVERSION to be incremented. Similar rules hold of course for non-opaque data-structures. For C++ the whole issue is infinitely more complicated, as determining whether the ABI was changed in an incompatible way is AFAIK nearly impossible.
