I appreciate my first series around buildability of dpdk under gcc8 got in, thanks for the support and assistance. The series "GCC8 fixes against lagopus" fixes dpdk api headers so you can actually build things against dpdk with gcc 8. Today then dpdk itself builds cleanly under gcc 8, but when you try to build another app against it with the same compiler, that app can't build cleanly due to problems specifically in dpdk exported api headers. These don't show up during dpdk build but when you actually try to use it. I understand this stuff is really busy and difficult to manage, life will go on for me if it gets in later, although you can't build eg lagopus with gcc8 as it is. Lagopus has its own problems with gcc 8 but today they target 18.02 dpdk. It will be helpful to them and others if they can target unchanged 18.05 dpdk tag in their dpdk submodule and then only need patches on their side (which I am preparing) for a clean gcc8 experience. -Andy > We can target to make -rc4, -rc5 and finally release on 25th of May. > > As usual, please test this release candidate as much as you can, > and check for possible behaviour or performance regressions. > > There are some open bugs to check in bugzilla: > https://dpdk.org/tracker/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=CONFIRMED&bug_status=IN_PROGRESS&product=DPDK > > Thank you everyone > > >
