Sure they do guarantee the ABI stability (within major release), but the main thing here is that FreeBSD - like pretty much any other operating system, but differently from Linux - maintains the stability at the libc level, not at syscall level.
- int_19h 8y agoI meant kernel ABI specifically, of course. And it's a guarantee that is, essentially, useless for any purpose other than the interaction between the base system and the kernel - i.e. not for third party software.
