What (who) is Windows Application Binary Interface - definition

BINARY INTERFACE BETWEEN TWO PROGRAM UNITS THAT ACTS AS A BRIDGE

Application Binary Interface; EABI; Embedded Application Binary Interface; Embedded-application binary interface; Embedded-Application Binary Interface; C ABI

Windows Application Binary Interface

<operating system, tool> (WABI) A software package from {Sun Microsystems} to allow certain Microsoft Windows applications under the X Window System. Wabi 2.2 runs under Solaris on SPARC, Intel, and PowerPC. Wabi works by providing translated versions of the three core Windows libraries, user.dll, kernel.dll, and gdi.dll which redirect Windows calls to Solaris equivalents. For code other than core library calls Wabi either executes the instructions directly on the hardware, if it is Intel, or emulates them, either one instruction at a time or by translating a block of instructions and caching the result (e.g. for a loop). WabiServer allows the Windows application and X display to be on different computers. Overview (http://sun.com/solaris/products/wabi/). (1997-01-08)

Application binary interface

In computer software, an application binary interface (ABI) is an interface between two binary program modules. Often, one of these modules is a library or operating system facility, and the other is a program that is being run by a user.

Application Binary Interface

<programming> (ABI) The interface by which an {application program} gains access to operating system and other services. It should be possible to run the same compiled binary applications on any system with the right ABI. Examples are 88open's Binary Compatibility Standard, the PowerOpen Environment and Windows sockets. (1994-11-08)

Application binary interface

In computer software, an application binary interface (ABI) is an interface between two binary program modules. Often, one of these modules is a library or operating system facility, and the other is a program that is being run by a user.

An ABI defines how data structures or computational routines are accessed in machine code, which is a low-level, hardware-dependent format. In contrast, an API defines this access in source code, which is a relatively high-level, hardware-independent, often human-readable format. A common aspect of an ABI is the calling convention, which determines how data is provided as input to, or read as output from, computational routines. Examples of this are the x86 calling conventions.

Adhering to an ABI (which may or may not be officially standardized) is usually the job of a compiler, operating system, or library author. However, an application programmer may have to deal with an ABI directly when writing a program in a mix of programming languages, or even compiling a program written in the same language with different compilers.
