Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/7] eal: define the EAL parameters in argparse format
Date: Tue, 20 May 2025 17:40:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250520164025.2055721-5-bruce.richardson@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250520164025.2055721-1-bruce.richardson@intel.com>
This table should allow us to parse all the eal args into a single
structure for later parsing in a fixed-order field basis. For those
elements that take multiple values, define a TAILQ and a callback to
process those elements.
Signed-off-by: Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson@intel.com>
---
Note: Within the structure to store the elements, each field has the
same name as the cmdline parameter it corresponds to - just with "-"
replaced by "_". This allows us to later write generic code using
macros to check structure fields and auto-generate the error messages.
