API: Application Program Interface

This is the set of public types/variables/functions that you expose from your application/library.

In C/C++ this is what you expose in the header files that you ship with the application.

ABI: Application Binary Interface

This is how the compiler builds an application.
It defines things (but is not limited tooto):

  • How parameters are passed to functions (registers/stack).
  • Who cleans parameters from the stack (caller/callee).
  • Where the return value is placed for return.
  • How exceptions propagate.
