[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] mbuf & mempool: explicit typecast on function return

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] mbuf & mempool: explicit typecast on function return

[Sergey Balabanov]

When DPDK is being compiled in C++ project using g++ then
'invalid conversion from' error appears. Added explicit
typecast on function return to get rid of the error.

Fixes: 7755baae8378 ("mbuf: silence warning on pointer arithmetic")
Fixes: 6cf14ce4ce6c ("mempool: silence warning on pointer arithmetic")

Thanks

I already have fixed this issue at http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/6068/
 .
There is another issue related to "underlying type" for enum declarations
http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/6067/, for C++11 compilers.

In the second patch I missed updating headers for architectures other than
x86,
so it needs to be updated before applying to the master branch.

It would be great for me to have this fixed on the master branch,
as I am manually applying above patches whenever I pull the latest codes.

Regards,
Joongi

+CC Thomas.

Sorry, I missed your previous patches. I think it would indeed be
helpful to have them included before the release to allow compilation
of C++ programs.

I'm wondering if we should add a C++ example in dpdk/examples: people
would see the problem before commiting, or if they miss it, I know some
people are doing automatic compilation tests every day.

Regards,
Olivier

Split and applied, thanks
