API vs ABI

> 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 to):

    - 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.
