Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/enic: fix build with GCC 7.5
Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2021 11:28:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211015102819.4101559-1-ferruh.yigit@intel.com> (raw)

Build error:
../drivers/net/enic/enic_fm_flow.c: In function 'enic_fm_flow_parse':
../drivers/net/enic/enic_fm_flow.c:1467:24:
	error: 'dev' may be used uninitialized in this function
	[-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
    struct rte_eth_dev *dev;
                        ^~~
../drivers/net/enic/enic_fm_flow.c:1580:24:
	error: 'dev' may be used uninitialized in this function
	[-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
    struct rte_eth_dev *dev;
                        ^~~
../drivers/net/enic/enic_fm_flow.c:1599:24:
	error: 'dev' may be used uninitialized in this function
	[-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
    struct rte_eth_dev *dev;
                        ^~~

Build error looks like false positive, but to silence the compiler
initializing the pointer with NULL.

Fixes: 7968917ccf64 ("net/enic: support meta flow actions to overrule destinations")

I am not sure about the solution and I don't have environment to verify,
sending this patch to verify the solution in CI and trigger discussion
for fix.
The patch is still in next-net, when a proper fix is found, it can be
squashed in next-net.
