abi-dumper hangs on a static library

[mazimkhan]

command abi-dumper library/libmbedtls.a -o ABI-0.dump never finishes when run with attached lib.
libmbedtls.zip

Hello,

The ABI dumper tool is not intended to dump ABI of static libraries (archives of objects) due to intersected identifiers of DWARF sections. You can only dump ABIs of individual objects:

ar -x libmbedtls.a
abi-dumper x509_csr.o

The ABI Dumper is intended to dump ABI of shared objects:

abi-dumper libmbedtls.so

You can build the shared object by adding -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON cmake configure option when building mbed TLS.

Thank you.

Thanks for clarifying I will test and close this issue.
