While the flow command relies on the contents of this buffer when parsing
tokens, it doesn't expect it to be maintained across match_inst() calls.
In fact another issue prevents Olivier's suggestion from working.
Commit 9b3fbb051d2e ("cmdline: fix parsing") is supposed prevent further
match_inst() calls after the right inst is found but doesn't break
cmdline_parse()'s loop; subsequent iterations clear the result buffer.
Here's a suggestion to try:
diff --git a/lib/librte_cmdline/cmdline_parse.c b/lib/librte_cmdline/cmdline_parse.c
index 3e12ee5..e967410 100644
--- a/lib/librte_cmdline/cmdline_parse.c
+++ b/lib/librte_cmdline/cmdline_parse.c
@@ -338,8 +338,8 @@ cmdline_parse(struct cmdline *cl, const char * buf)
err = CMDLINE_PARSE_AMBIGUOUS;
f=NULL;
debug_printf("Ambiguous cmd\n");
- break;
}
+ break;
}
}
