Hi Konstantin,
Just to make sure we are coordinating the work on rte_ring, I plan to
get the following things done for 20.08. Please let me know if you have any
comments.
1) Remove experimental tag on rte_ring_xxx_elem APIs - they have been around
for 2 releases now.
2) Make the legacy APIs use elem APIs
3) Check the possibility to remove rte_ring_generic.h implementation. This can
be done if the legacy API performance between the generic and C11
implementations is not much.
4) Peek APIs for RTS
Some cleanup activity (assuming above things are successful)
1) Remove the detailed comments on top of the internal functions - it is hard
to maintain, the parameters are already self-explanatory
3) Files need some re-org
a) rte_ring.h, rte_ring_hts.h, rte_ring_rts.h, rte_ring_peek.h - will
have legacy format APIs written as wrappers around xxx_elem APIs
b) rte_ring_elem.h, rte_ring_hts_elem.h, rte_ring_rts_elem.h,
rte_ring_peek_elem.h - will have xxx_elem APIs
c) ring_elem_pvt.h, ring_hts_elem_pvt.h, ring_rts_elem_pvt.h,
ring_peek_elem_pvt.h
- these will contain the internal functions including the c11
functions to manipulate the head/tail pointers.
The files with xxx_c11_mem.h will disappear. Make sure
private functions have __rte prefix
Thank you,
Honnappa
