Subject: [dpdk-dev] Eliminate config/rte_config.h?
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2020 15:39:10 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <MN2PR11MB3886EF3C3970F2E9C79CD1EDAAE70@MN2PR11MB3886.namprd11.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

Hi folks,



Been experimenting with DPDK 20.11 and the loss of the old "config" hierarchy.



I wonder if anyone considered eliminating config/rte_config.h in favor of a config/dpdk_conf that can contain the default values at the start of the file but can be overridden with values later in the file similar to how the old config files worked?



It just feels awkward to modify a versioned header file per build especially if multiple builds want to share the same repo but with different values specified in config/rte_config.h especially when "rte_build_config.h" is included at the very beginning of config/rte_config.h.



Thoughts?

Dave
