I believe it's Application Binary Interface, but whatever it stands for, it's referring to the calling convention required to use the code. Note that there can be several *DIFFERENT* ways to interface (pass parameters & return results) to code (ie: register(s), stack(s), pointer/value passing, etc), and everyone on both 'sides' has to agree on the conventions. In the context of a uClibc, the low-level calling conventions between routines are standardized (by gcc), and ABI is most likely referring to the interface visible to the application (ie: how many and what kind of parameters are required for each function, and what result type (if any) is returned...the stuff you find in the .h header files), which would require a recompile if it changed. - -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCndc6LywbqEHdNFwRAkMUAKCfV0dMjcs3OcxG7tg1gC4Bl1/BoACfWHXP hgV1W5uabMJ0WgeXGpdz9J0= =IMik -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Yahoo.
