[dpdk-dev] error: value computed is not used

Hi all,
My platform is:

When I try to compile the source code to x86_64 linuxapp, I got this
error message:

lib/librte_pmd_enic/enic_main.c: In function ‘enic_set_rsskey’:
lib/librte_pmd_enic/enic_main.c:862:2: error: value computed is not used

I dig out that, it was ome issue of  the macros rte_memcpy()
#define rte_memcpy(dst, src, n)              \
        ((__builtin_constant_p(n)) ?          \
        memcpy((dst), (src), (n)) :          \
        rte_memcpy_func((dst), (src), (n)))

When I use only (n) instead of (__builtin_constant_p(n), it will pass( I
know that it was incorrect, just a experiment).

But I try to use inline function instead of macros:
static inline void * rte_memcpy(void *dst, const void *src, size_t n)
{
        return __builtin_constant_p(n) ? memcpy(dst, src, n) :
                                         rte_memcpy_func(dst, src, n);
}

It will pass:), and works, this could be one potential workaround fix.

Who knows why? The root cause is what?

I've no idea about this.

Thanks,
Michael

I got the same issue while ago. I don't remember exactly everything
but my conclusion was that there was some bug in compiler. I think,
when 'n' I constant and/or small compiler is inlining memcpy and throwing
everything else (including returned value). In that case error is not
produced (I think this is a bug in compiler). In other case it is computing
some value calling memcpy or rte_ memcpy and you should at least
explicitly throw it away by casting to void. I like solution with static
inline but someone else should spoke about possible side effects.

Actually, I try to pass "n" as a Int value like 4, it still report this
error :)

Yes, but as I know inline is better than macros.

My workaround was:
(void) rte_memcpy(...);

But this is only a workaround.

Hi all,

Any idea?

Leave this issue in DPDK?

You may use this built-in function in either a macro or an inline function.
However, if you use it in an inlined function and pass an argument of the
function as the argument to the built-in, GCC never returns 1 when you call
the inline function with a string constant or compound literal and does not
return 1 when you pass a constant numeric value to the inline function unless
you specify the -O option.
"

It seems the "inline fix" cannot be used.

I'm going to send a patch with Pawel's workaround.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] enic: fix build on SUSE 11

[Thomas Monjalon]

GCC 4.5.1 from SUSE throws this error:
	lib/librte_pmd_enic/enic_main.c:862:2: error: value computed is not used

It seems to be a GCC bug.

Thomas, can you check build with EXTRA_CFLAG='-Wunused-value'.

What happens to the returned value after this change?
ptr = rte_memcpy(dst, src, n) + offset:

You mean EXTRA_CFLAGS (with a S).
It fails in many locations.
What's your point? Do you to support -Wunused-value?

Whole expression should be 'void *' type (like *memcpy()) and it should work
as usual (see maxint() example in above link). It is GCC extension.

I am just asking if this is an typo, error or intend to do statements with no effects like bellow.

ixgbe_common.c:4429:3: error: statement with no effect [-Werror=unused-value]

4426:	/* first pull in the header so we know the buffer length */
4427:	for (bi = 0; bi < dword_len; bi++) {
4428:		buffer[bi] = IXGBE_READ_REG_ARRAY(hw, IXGBE_FLEX_MNG, bi);
4429:		IXGBE_LE32_TO_CPUS(&buffer[bi]); // <------ here
4430	}


> Do you to support -Wunused-value?
No, I just turned this on to check above change and was surprised what happened.

OK nice.
I didn't test it on SUSE 11 SP3. I assume you did it?
Please Pawel, could you send a proper patch quickly?
If nobody disagree, it'll be merged in RC5 today.

It's an intent. On big endian CPU, this has an effect.

Honestly, I don't know if there is a good fix for this warning.

I did not tested this, as this was only proposal. I only run build process and it pass.
Patch proposal will be sent in a while.

If you see something what I am not, please ignore this part but for me this looks like it should be:
tmp = IXGBE_READ_REG_ARRAY(hw, IXGBE_FLEX_MNG,
buffer[bi] = IXGBE_LE32_TO_CPUS (tmp);

Hmm, I think there is a bug in lib/librte_pmd_ixgbe/ixgbe/ixgbe_osdep.h:
#define IXGBE_LE32_TO_CPUS(_i) rte_le_to_cpu_32(_i)

It probably should be:
#define IXGBE_LE32_TO_CPUS(_i) rte_le_to_cpu_32(*(_i))

Not much point to do byte swapping for the pointer.
And that what ixgbe BSD driver is doing.

Though I still not sure why it is needed here, as the computed value is not used anyway.
What the author probably meant to do:
buffer[bi] = rte_le_to_cpu_32 (buffer[bi]);
To achieve that we need:
#define IXGBE_LE32_TO_CPUS(x) (*(x) = rte_le_to_cpu_32(*(x)))
Correct?

Yep, same thought here, see my other mail on that subject.

Oh yes, you and Pawel are probably right.
I was focusing on definition of IXGBE_LE32_TO_CPUS and have not seen the bug.

Hi Thomas,
I sent this patch on behalf of Pawel. It is:

Actually, it can be used and work, as -O option is always specified(I've
test before).

But it should be a issue and not safe.
