Subject: [dpdk-dev] [RFC PATCH v2] build: add platform meson option
Date: Mon,  4 Jan 2021 12:52:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1609761130-4627-1-git-send-email-juraj.linkes@pantheon.tech> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1606405649-4308-1-git-send-email-juraj.linkes@pantheon.tech>

The current meson option 'machine' should only specify the ISA, which is
not sufficient for Arm, where setting ISA implies other setting as well.
Add a new meson option, 'platform', which differentiates the type of the
build (native/generic) and sets machine accordingly, unless the user
chooses to override it.
The 'machine' option also doesn't describe very well what it sets, so
introduce a new option 'cpu_instruction_set', but keep 'machine' for
backward compatibility.
These two new variables, taken together, achieve what 'machine' was
setting per architecture - setting the ISA in x86 build and setting
native/default 'build type' in aarch64 build - is now properly being set
for all architectures in a uniform manner.
