Subject: [PATCH v3 13/16] eal: handle long shared library path
Date: Fri,  5 Dec 2025 12:11:42 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251205201537.251131-14-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251205201537.251131-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>

Instead of a fixed size shared library path that could in theory
get truncated when concatenating, use a dynamically allocated buffer
via asprintf.
