[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/6] Clang compilation support on FreeBSD and Linux

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/6] Clang compilation support on FreeBSD and Linux

[Bruce Richardson]

This patch set enables clang compilation on FreeBSD and Linux. It includes
patches to fix a number of compilation errors thrown up by clang, and then
adds in the appropriate toolchain makefiles and compile-time configurations.

This set has been tested with clang v3.3 on FreeBSD 10 and clang v3.4 on
Fedora linux 20. The example apps folder has not been tested at this time, this
patch set only focuses on the core libraries and apps.

Bruce Richardson (6):
  pmd_bond: add missing variable initialization
  Makefiles: add clang to compiler if/else block
  mk: Ensure correct detection of SSE4.2 on FreeBSD
  acl: add nmmintrin.h header to allow clang compilation
  mk: add toolchain for clang and linuxapp target
  config: add compile target for clang on BSD

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/6] pmd_bond: add missing variable initialization

[Bruce Richardson]

Variable "valid_slave" wasn't getting properly zero-initialized. This error is
flagged by clang on compile.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/6] Makefiles: add clang to compiler if/else block

[Bruce Richardson]

The makefiles for a number of drivers conditionally disable certain warnings
depending on the compiler and version used. Add in clang to the list of
compiler options.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 3/6] mk: Ensure correct detection of SSE4.2 on FreeBSD

[Bruce Richardson]

Add a special case to the native target makefile, where we check if
-march=native shows SSE4.2 support. If it does not, then not everything may
build, so we check if the hardware supports SSE4.2, and use a corei7 target
explicitly to get the SSE4.2 support.

What do you think of this change?
-  CPU_SSE42_SUPPORT=$(shell if [ -f /var/run/dmesg.boot ] ; then grep SSE4\.2 /var/run/dmesg.boot ; fi)
+  CPU_SSE42_SUPPORT = $(shell grep SSE4\.2 /var/run/dmesg.boot 2>/dev/null)

It's simpler and should produce the same result.
If you agree, I'll change it before applying.

Thanks

Why not use clang for FreeBSD modules?
This page seems to encourage clang:

Now that SSE4.2 support is better detected, can we remove these lines from
defconfig_x86_64-native-bsdapp-gcc?

Good point, I'll check that out.

That is  an interesting one.

That branch is only really applicable for Linux. In the BSD modules makefile we explicitly unexport CC to allow the build system to use its own default. BSD 9 defaults to using gcc 4.2, and BSD 10 to clang, so this is probably the best approach, leaving the result in the hands of the user. Obviously this won't work with cross-compiling to BSD, but I don't think that is a scenario we support right now anyway.

I'm going to do up a second version of this patch to also re-enable the
ACL compile on BSD - as you pointed out in your other mail, so I'll include 
this change in a rev 2. That ok?

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 3/6] mk: Ensure correct detection of SSE4.2 on FreeBSD

[Bruce Richardson]

Add a special case to the native target makefile, where we check if
-march=native shows SSE4.2 support. If it does not, then not everything may
build, so we check if the hardware supports SSE4.2, and use a corei7 target
explicitly to get the SSE4.2 support.

New in V2:
* Re-enable ACL library for FreeBSD using gcc, which requires SSE4.2
* Adjust SSE42 detection command based on feedback from Thomas Monjalon
