Skip namespaces? #4

Open michihenning opened 8 years ago

When dumping an ABI with abi-compliance-checker, it is possible to exclude namespaces with the directive. Would it be possible to do the same for abi-dumper? I'm getting lots of noise about added symbols in internal namespaces that have nothing to do with the public API. It would be nice to be able to suppress that.

Yes, there is no such option yet in both tools. I'll add it soon in the abi-compliance-checker. As the temporary workaround you can use the -skip-internal-symbols and -skip-internal-types options of the abi-compliance-checker to skip checking of private symbols:

abi-compliance-checker ... -skip-internal-symbols "\d(NS1|NS2|...)" -skip-internal-types "(NS1|NS2|...)::"

where NS1, NS2, ... — private namespaces.
