Preventing framework conflicts for multi-OS applications

A data processing system comprising:

• a memory to store instructions for execution;
• one or more processors to execute instructions stored in memory, the instructions to cause the one or more processors to:
• load program code for a dynamic library to build for a first platform;
• parse a set of interfaces and data structures exported by the dynamic library to verify consistency of a build contract for the dynamic library;
• and
• generate a build error during a build process for the dynamic library upon detection of an inconsistent build contract, the build contract to specify at least an application binary interface (ABI) for building the dynamic library and an application programming interface (API) for building the dynamic library, wherein detection of the inconsistent build contract includes detection of a mismatch between the ABI or API for the dynamic library when built for the first platform and the ABI or API for the dynamic library when built for a second platform.

A method of detecting conflicts during a build process for a dynamic library, the method comprising:

• loading program code for the dynamic library to build for a first platform;
• parsing a set of interfaces and data structures exported by the dynamic library to verify consistency of a build contract for the dynamic library;
• and
• generating a build error during a build process for the dynamic library upon detecting an inconsistent build contract, the build contract specifying at least an application binary interface (ABI) for building the dynamic library and an application programming interface (API) for building the dynamic library, wherein detecting an inconsistent build contract includes detecting a mismatch between the ABI or API for the dynamic library when built for the first platform compared to when the dynamic library is built for a second platform.
