The thread topic was brainstorming ways to automate and improve testing of the DPDK. I pointed to the linux kernel for sources of ideas for how we might accomplish that same goal in the DPDK (specifically by using makefile targets to randomize and fuzz the build time configuration). You instead seem to be focusing on the minutae of my language. Thats not in any way the point of my posts. Please go back and re-read the thread before you misguidedly decide that my thoughts are simply here to bias the build environment in any particular direction. Better still, if you can point to some idea that can be used to improve automated testing, which was the purpose of this conversation at the start, that would be great. Neil > Jim > > > >
