Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5] build: disable experimental API check internally
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2020 16:55:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200413145530.8464-1-david.marchand@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200402183253.866-1-jerinjacobk@gmail.com>

From: Pavan Nikhilesh <pbhagavatula@marvell.com>

Remove setting ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API individually for each Makefile and
meson.build. Instead, enable ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API flag across app, lib
and drivers.
This changes reduces the clutter across the project while still
maintaining the functionality of ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API i.e. warning
external applications about experimental API usage.
