  Input objects should be compiled with -g -Og additional options to contain DWARF debug info.

FILTER PUBLIC ABI:
  abi-dumper libTest.so -public-headers PATH
  PATH — path to the install tree of a library

ABI CHECK:
  abi-dumper libTest.so.0 -o ABIv0.dump
  abi-dumper libTest.so.1 -o ABIv1.dump
  abi-compliance-checker -l libTest -old ABIv0.dump -new ABIv1.dump
