Summary The last EAL argument is replaced by the program name in argv[]

Target Milestone ---

The last EAL argument is replaced by program name in argv[] after
eal_parse_args is called. This is the intended behavior but it causes the
pointer to the last EAL argument to be lost.

Implication:
If the last EAL argument in argv[] is generated by a malloc function, changing
it will cause memory issues when freeing the argument.

Resolution/Workaround:
An application should not consider the value in argv[] as unchanged.

Affected Environment/Platform:
ALL.

Driver/Module:
Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL).
