Hey,
Thanks for sharing, and good to have another report. Especially as
concise as nice looking as yours.
While it's good to not have to compile the header files, not compiling
them doesn't really tell the whole story. Changes in macros (which we
have and do), don't show. Same goes for changes in struct, enum and
value definitions. Checking the headers is essential.
The abi-compliance-checker tool actually shows both the info from the
objects ("Binary compatibility") and from the headers ("Source
compatibility"). There's a slight overlap between the two, but there are
things that show in one and not the other.
