[dpdk-dev] rte_eal_init independent from main(int argc, char** argv)

[dpdk-dev] rte_eal_init independent from main(int argc, char** argv)

[Hamid Ramazani]

Hi,
I'm in need of running an open() function, that is part another program.
open() does many things, the very first of them is rte_eal_init(argv, argc)
I should not receive argc, and argv from main function of the program,
but rather I should produce it myself.

What I've done inside open() function is:
int argc = 5;
char* argv[] = {"./build/l2fwd","-c","ff","-n","4"};
ret = rte_eal_init(argc,argv);

But I receive: invalid EAL arguments.

I'm thinking about writing another rte_eal_init function for myself.
What do you think?

Thanks in advance.

actually I've used:
char* argv[] = {"./build/l2fwd","-c","ff","-n","4", NULL};

(NULL at the end of the list).

Thanks.

Hi Hamid,

I do something similar and works fine. My compiler warning flags are more pedantic, so I have to ensure those strings are not const literals, but that doesn’t matter.

I would appreciate an init that takes a struct with options too.
