Hello,
I see that rte_pci_dev_ids.h has been removed.
We are using it on our product to get supported device ids.
I understand the desire to move that data out of a central place and into
each driver. Any chance that instead of living in a .c file, that each
driver could hold it in a .h file so that it could be easily consumed by
an external program?
Thanks,
Sean

No it has not been removed (yet):
http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/tree/lib/librte_eal/common/include/rte_pci_dev_ids.h

Yes there is a plan to move the PCI ids in the drivers but
we need to make a tool to retrieve the ids from the ELF files.
Why do you want to get them from a .h file?

The need for a .h file isn't an absolute, but we have some code that was
using the existing file. If each driver had their Ids in a per-driver .h
file then we just include one h file per driver instead of
rte_pci_dev_ids.h and our tool still works.
Thanks,
Sean
