What is the meaning of CC here?

Why not sizeof(dict->addr)?

CC is a tag that git send-email understands.  As it implies it cc's the post to
the indicated email, and records that fact in the body of the commit.

Because addr is a struct ether_addr, and I always get confused when doing sizeof
on pointer variables, so I find it more clear to specify the type exactly.  I'm
not bound to it though so if you like I can change it, though given its release
day, I figure you want to fix this build break asap.

OK but why CC me when sending this patch?

Typically a tree maintainer is CC'ed when submitting a patch to a list. I've
done it on most, if not all of my previous patches (and where I didn't, I should
have).  Especially given that we're this late in the release cycle, I want to be
sure you're attention is called to a build break

But if you use --cc in git send-email will be a good choice. CC list is
useless for patch it self, but here it will exist in commit log(although
this style can also be seen in linux kernel)

Yes, its good to have a record of who was CCed on a patch for archival purposes,
so you can get an idea of who participated (or was expected to participate in a
review)

Hi Neil,

	Can you let me know what configuration you used for XEN Domain U?
	Do you able to run some test cases on XEN Domain U?
	So far, we met some issues on xenvirt (Domain U). 

	Thanks

No configuration, I simply turned on the option in the build to ensure another
patch set of mine didn't break anything.

Hmm, I agree with Thomas that sizeof(dict->addr) would be better
as it explicitly uses the length of the field we write into.

Hi Neil,

I think if you could add the commit author in the cc list will be better.

Because this could let him know about his code's issue and he is the
always the best person to review the patch.

The commit author is me, and its recorded by the Signed-off line, as well as the
Authorship tag in git.  Not really sure what you're driving at here.

Yes, Git already does that, as noted above.

Sorry, What I mean "commit author" is who mentioned in you commit log,
for this case should be this guy: alan.carew@intel.com I think.
Sorry for I did not say it clearly.

Yourself, of course, should be in the list.

If we could fix the header incompatiablities then the driver could use
a standard library like ether_aton() instead of dragging in the unnecessary
cmdline library.

Right.
A first fix was done to remove conflict with netinet/in.h:
	http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/commit/?id=d07180f211
But there still are conflicts with netinet/ether.h and maybe more.
I suggest to fix it in the release 2.0.

I agree, that would be great, but I think that would be better done after the
release, since this is in compliance with how the rest of the DPDK handles this
situation currently.  Using ether_aton is definately a superior solution
however.
