Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 20.05 09/15] replace unused attributes
Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2020 17:20:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200210162032.1177478-10-thomas@monjalon.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200210162032.1177478-1-thomas@monjalon.net>

There is a common macro __rte_unused, avoiding warnings,
which is now used where appropriate for consistency.
