Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] lpm6: make IPv6 addresses immutable

[Medvedkin, Vladimir]

Hi Andrze,

Adding const qualifier for bulk lookup leads to compilation problems 
(see http://c-faq.com/ansi/constmismatch.html)
Also I don't think it would be good for usability to make users 
explicitly cast to (const uint8_t **) when passing 'ips' argument. I'd 
suggest leaving lookup_bulk as is.

Please give a more concrete example. There is no need for explicit cast
in current C.

Hi Stephen,

In theory, i agree - all modern versions of GCC don't give warnings for 
this code. The problem is, we don't only support modern versions of GCC. 
For a "more concrete example", see the following error in gcc-4.8 on 
CentOS 7:

http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/test-report/2020-March/119455.html

I have reproduced this on my non-CentOS machine with gcc4.8, so it 
appears to be gcc4.8 specific rather than CentOS-specific. That said, 
the same email contains a compile check from RHEL7 with the same 
compiler version, and it didn't trigger the warning, and also it seems 
to be that only meson build has triggered the warning (while i have 
reproduced it with make on my machine).

So, i think it is best to leave lookup_bulk as is, and add const 
qualifiers in other places (for const uint8_t *).

Vladimir

Something else is going on. There are lots of places in code where
something like this is done (without warning).

extern int strcmp(const char *, const char *);

int foo(char *arg)
{
	return strcmp(arg, "foo") == 0;
}

Agree, just drop it from the bulk functions.
The array of array semantics is confusing compiler (and users).

Thank you Vladimir and Stephen for the input.  I'll drop the bulks and
will send V2.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] lpm6: make IPv6 addresses immutable

[Andrzej Ostruszka]

None of the public functions modify IPv6 address passed.  So their
parameters are made const - with the exception of bulk functions.
This exception is due to compatibility problems - some compilers report
problems with const-casting of array of arrays.

Previously only lookup and add were updated to have addresses passed as
const so I'm adding this fixline.
