Are you sure?
I added the next code and the compilation passed:
static inline uint32_t
__attribute__((deprecated("Symbol is not yet part of stable ABI"), \
section(".text.experimental")))
rte_combine32ms1b(register uint32_t x)
{
x |= x >> 1;
x |= x >> 2;
x |= x >> 4;
x |= x >> 8;
x |= x >> 16;
return x;
}
Actually, the combine functions should not be experimental (already used in the existed code).
It also will prevent us to add the cflag in every lib which uses the old align functions.
Only the new align functions should be tagged.
And then, you need to add the cflag only in the places which use these functions.
Am I missing something?
