ABI Compliance Checker GSoC Project

Hackers,

I’d like to introduce Mankirat Singh, a Google Summer of Code student that Pavlo Golub and I are mentoring this year. He’s started work on his project, an ABI Compliance Checker. The plan is to work out the patterns, integrate it into the Build Farm, and get it sending regular reports by early September. He’s building on the foundation laid by Peter Geoghegan back in 2023 [1]. He’s written up his plan in his blog [2].

Since the work naturally gets into what’s considered a public API and what’s not, we feel that hackers is the best place to ask questions about bits to include and exclude, as well as other questions related to configuration settings, etc., so please watch for those. I hope you all will help Mankirat to quickly learn what’s what, figure out how it goes together, and make it a reality!

In the meantime, please give him a warm welcome!

Best,

David

PS: If one of you fine people can grant permission for Mankirat’s blog to be added to Planet Postgres, we’d super appreciate it.
