[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] [pktgen] [PATCH] Fix the "rte_memcpy" compiling on aarch64 platform

[Bing Zhao <ilovethull@163.com>]

The "rte_memcpy" will be a macro but not a function on aarch64 platform if the flags are not enabled (latest version). In old versions, it will always be a macro to memcpy.
Now the preprocessor couldn't handle the "rte_memcpy" properly. Because the definition has the format like "rte_memcpy(d, s, n)", the single word "rte_memcpy" then cannnot be recognized.
This fix is a WA on some level and not graceful. An additional if-else check will affect the performance a little (I hope not so much). Or shall we change the "rte_memcpy" from a pre-defined macro to an in-line function in the old versions and the latest version without the flags enabled?

Thanks
