Fragile binary interface problem

The fragile binary interface problem or FBI is a shortcoming of certain object-oriented programming language compilers, in which internal changes to an underlying class library can cause descendant libraries or programs to cease working. It is an example of software brittleness.

This problem is more often called the fragile base class problem or FBC; however, that term has a wider sense.
