[spp] DPDK v18.08 support

[spp] DPDK v18.08 support

[Ferruh Yigit]

Hi Yasufumi,

I am sure you already aware but for the record for mail list, latest spp doesn't
compile with latest DPDK v18.08 release because of some deprecated fields and APIs.

Do you guys already have a plan for the DPDK v18.08 support?


Thanks,
ferruh

Hi Ferruh,

Yes. I should replace deprecated rte_eth_dev_attach/detach() with rte_eal_hotplug_add/remove(). I have learned how to use this 
new APIs and will send patches to make the changes.

At first, I would like to add 'CFLAGS += -Wno-deprecated-declarations' option to avoid the problem similar to DPDK, then change 
to new APIs.

Thanks,

That would work but I am not sure how good idea it is.
Deprecated deprecation is notify you to update your application, I think we
shouldn't suppress these warnings.

OK. I would like to try to fix with new APIs. I already sent patches for the issue and I will send next patches as version 2. 
Thanks for your comment.
