Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1 3/4] doc: announce API change for flow RSS/RAW actions
Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2018 16:37:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180214152847.19774-4-adrien.mazarguil@6wind.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180214152847.19774-1-adrien.mazarguil@6wind.com>
C99-style flexible arrays were a bad idea for this API. This announces a
minor API/ABI change to remove them.

+* rte_flow: C99-style flexible arrays in ``struct rte_flow_action_rss`` and
+ ``struct rte_flow_item_raw`` will be replaced by standard pointers to the
+ same data. They proved difficult to use in the field (e.g. no possibility
+ of static initialization) and are unsuitable for C++ applications.
