[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/3] add a macro to enable support of backtrace

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/3] add a macro to enable support of backtrace

[Wei Dai]

Some LIBC implementation like musl doesn't support backtrace( )
and backtrace_symbols declared in execinfo.h.
Currently some DPDK customers fail to build PDDK with musl.
In order to build DPDK with musl, there is a need to
reomve references toexecinfo.h.

Add a configuration parameter in config/common_linuxapp which equals to y 
by default. It also generate a macro named as RTE_EAL_ENABLE_BACKTRACE when 
this configuration paramter equals to y or no above macro when it is n.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/3] examples/performance-thread: remove reference to execinfo.h

[Wei Dai]

There is no function to refer any part of execinfo.h, so remove the
reference to it. And there is no this file in musl. So need to
remove it to support musl.

The musl is an alternative LIBC to GLIBC and provides the
standard C/POSIX library and extensions.
The musl can be got from http://www.musl-libc.org

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 2/3] config: add a marco to enable backtrace or not

[Wei Dai]

When building DPDK with musl, there is need not to generate
the MACRO named RTE_EAL_ENABLE_BACKTRACE in rte_config.h to
remove some references to execinfo.h which is not supported
by musl now.
This also applies to some other LIBC implementation which
doesn't support backtrace( ) and backtrace_symbols( ).

Got more details about musl from http://www.musl-libc.org .

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 3/3] eal: remove references to execinfo.h for musl

[Wei Dai]

execinfo.h is not supported by musl now.
need to remove references to execinfo.h to
build DPDK with musl.

musl is an implementation of the userspace portion
of the standard library functionality described in
the ISO C and POSIX standards, plus common extensions.

Get more details about musl from
http://www.musl-libc.org

This also aplies to some other LIBC implementation which
doesn't support backtrace( ) and backtrace_symbols( ).

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/3] add a macro to enable support of backtrace

[Dai, Wei]

Hi, Thomas

I noticed that my following patch set has been superseded.
It address the compile errors when DPDK is built with musl.
I know some customer products like Yocto Linux and that from Roph are using DPDK with musl and
they have to manually change something to build it.
Roph also referenced to use DPDK with musl in his mail titled " [dpdk-dev] Compiling DPDK 17.02 using musl instead of glibc " sent on 2017-03-14

Thanks & Best Regards
-Wei

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 0/2] add a macro to disable support of backtrace

[Thomas Monjalon]

Some LIBC implementation like musl doesn't support backtrace()
and backtrace_symbols() declared in execinfo.h.
Currently some DPDK customers fail to build DPDK with musl.
In order to build DPDK with musl, there is a need to
remove references to execinfo.h.

Add a configuration parameter which defaults to y.

v3:
- rename option
- apply to BSD
- squash patches
