Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] 18.08 build error on ppc64el - bool as vector type
Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2018 17:11:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAATJJ0LP=u_QufpZJv-Q96+vWm_NA_Nneh7hqOorZQ_=O=2+sg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAATJJ0Ld_3o7FzZaoRO_eK2qWDpBuYg6QtKDCVjEUh22V_7k=w@mail.gmail.com>
Just FYI the simple change hits similar issues later on.
The (not really) proposed patch would have to be extended to be as
following.
We really need a better solution (or somebody has to convince me that my
change is better than a band aid).
Description: Fix ppc64le build error between altivec and bool
We really hope there will eventually be a better fix for this, but
currently
we have to unbreak building this code so until something better is
available
let's use this modification.
