Any DPDK public header file which includes stdbool.h may conflict with local definition of bool, if any, which further results in compilation error. To avoid, used standard stdbool.h instead of defining bool internally.
I observed this issue during a development where I included rte_uuid.h into rte_ethdev.h. As rte_ethdev.h is included to PMD driver, it started throwing error as given below: CC ionic_rxtx.o In file included from .../dpdk/build/include/rte_uuid.h:17:0, from .../dpdk/build/include/rte_ethdev.h:161, from .../dpdk/build/include/rte_ethdev_driver.h:18, from .../dpdk/drivers/net/ionic/ionic_rxtx.c:34: .../dpdk/drivers/net/ionic/ionic_osdep.h:48:17: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers typedef uint8_t bool; ^ In file included from .../dpdk/drivers/net/ionic/ionic_dev.h:8:0, from .../dpdk/drivers/net/ionic/ionic.h:13, from .../dpdk/drivers/net/ionic/ionic_mac_api.h:8, from .../dpdk/drivers/net/ionic/ionic_rxtx.c:45: .../dpdk/drivers/net/ionic/ionic_osdep.h:48:1: warning: useless type name in empty declaration typedef uint8_t bool; ^~~~~~~ cc1: warning: unrecognized command line option ‘-Wno-address-of-packed-member’ .../dpdk/mk/internal/rte.compile-pre.mk:114: recipe for target 'ionic_rxtx.o' failed Signed-off-by: Sunil Kumar Kori <sk...@marvell.com> --- drivers/net/ionic/ionic_dev.c | 1 + drivers/net/ionic/ionic_mac_api.c | 1 + drivers/net/ionic/ionic_main.c | 1 + drivers/net/ionic/ionic_osdep.h | 1 - drivers/net/ionic/ionic_rx_filter.c | 1 + 5 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ionic/ionic_dev.c b/drivers/net/ionic/ionic_dev.c index aba388115..fe111a515 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ionic/ionic_dev.c +++ b/drivers/net/ionic/ionic_dev.c @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@ /* SPDX-License-Identifier: (BSD-3-Clause OR GPL-2.0) * Copyright(c) 2018-2019 Pensando Systems, Inc.
