But this one seems to be an important error. In such case, we already modified base driver. Recently: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2014-June/003498.html I think it's different. The logic is right after adding the patch. Below is my finding. In this case, it met the error when compile on 32-bits OS. The message is : /jenkins/workspace/DPDK_AUTO_IDT_VM_RHEL65_32_BUILD/DPDK/lib/librte_pmd_i40e/i40e/i40e_lan_hmc.c: In function ?i40e_write_qword?: /jenkins/workspace/DPDK_AUTO_IDT_VM_RHEL65_32_BUILD/DPDK/lib/librte_pmd_i40e/i40e/i40e_lan_hmc.c:917: error: integer constant is too large for ?long? type /jenkins/workspace/DPDK_AUTO_IDT_VM_RHEL65_32_BUILD/DPDK/lib/librte_pmd_i40e/i40e/i40e_lan_hmc.c: In function ?i40e_read_qword?: /jenkins/workspace/DPDK_AUTO_IDT_VM_RHEL65_32_BUILD/DPDK/lib/librte_pmd_i40e/i40e/i40e_lan_hmc.c:1097: error: integer constant is too large for ?long? type I found the code that cause errors. 'mask' is 'uint64_t' type and is assigned to value 0Xffff_ffff_ffff_ffff. Compiler assumes the constant is 'int' type by default. If changed it to oxffff_ffff_ffff_ffffULL, the warning will be gone. if (ce_info->width < 64) mask = ((u64)1 << ce_info->width) - 1; else mask = 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF; besides that, I dis-assembler the code with the patch and get below segment. It seems right. if (ce_info->width < 64) 1946: 8b 45 0c mov 0xc(%ebp),%eax 1949: 0f b7 40 04 movzwl 0x4(%eax),%eax 194d: 66 83 f8 3f cmp $0x3f,%ax 1951: 77 30 ja 1983 <i40e_write_qword+0x62> mask = ((u64)1 << ce_info->width) - 1; 1953: 8b 45 0c mov 0xc(%ebp),%eax 1956: 0f b7 40 04 movzwl 0x4(%eax),%eax 195a: 0f b7 c8 movzwl %ax,%ecx 195d: b8 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%eax 1962: ba 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%edx 1967: 0f a5 c2 shld %cl,%eax,%edx 196a: d3 e0 shl %cl,%eax 196c: f6 c1 20 test $0x20,%cl 196f: 74 04 je 1975 <i40e_write_qword+0x54> 1971: 89 c2 mov %eax,%edx 1973: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax 1975: 83 c0 ff add $0xffffffff,%eax 1978: 83 d2 ff adc $0xffffffff,%edx 197b: 89 45 e0 mov %eax,-0x20(%ebp) 197e: 89 55 e4 mov %edx,-0x1c(%ebp) 1981: eb 0e jmp 1991 <i40e_write_qword+0x70> else mask = 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF; 1983: c7 45 e0 ff ff ff ff movl $0xffffffff,-0x20(%ebp) 198a: c7 45 e4 ff ff ff ff movl $0xffffffff,-0x1c(%ebp) -- Thomas
