Questions about API and ABI

Expand Post »

Hi all
I have some questions
1-Is an API just a set of functions that let you do sth easier that using the things that make up the API,directly?If yes so and API must be able to be compiled in every IDE but you can see that Qt's API needs its own IDE to be compiled?
2-How language independent APIs work?Does it mean that with having the API,you can use it in any language?
3-From the definition of ABI in wikipedia,I understood that they are used to make the communication between softwares easier.Is it right?If yes,how can I implement that?
thanks a lot
