[dpdk-dev] Multiple compilation failures in recent commits on branch master.

[dpdk-dev] Multiple compilation failures in recent commits on branch master.

[Dan Gora]

Hi All,

I sent a patch yesterday to fix a compilation failure in the
test_external_mem test and I pulled origin yesterday and now there is
another compilation failure which was introduced in commit
c3e0a706fd7595733cf51 (net/dpaa2: read hardware provided MAC for DPNI
devices):

/home/dg/Network_Fastpaths/dpdk/latest/drivers/net/dpaa2/dpaa2_ethdev.c:1849:9:

ether_addr’ [-Werror=missing-

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Is something up where the automated compilation tests are not working?
 Is gcc 4.8.5 not supported any more?

I'm using stock OpenSuse 42.3 with gcc 4.8.5:

=> gcc --version
gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.8.5

Ok, never mind.. I see that it was fixed right after I pulled yesterday...

address initialization)
