This patchset implements existing pmdinfogen logic in Python, replaces and removes the old code. The goals of rewriting are:
* easier maintenance by using a more high-level language, * simpler build process without host application and libelf. Travis CI script is adjusted to install python3-pyelftools, but other CI systems may need similar tweaking. Particularly, testing on FreeBSD and big-endian targets is desired. --- Changes in v3: 1. Rebase on ToT, add package to CI. 2. Add copyrights, fixup maintainers file. 3. Remove C implementation. Changes in v2: 1. pyelftools is used instead of hand-written ELF parser. 2. Makefiles are adjusted. 3. f-strings replaced with % formatting to support Python 3.5. 4. Wrapper script does not hide stderr from ar and pmdinfogen. --- Dmitry Kozlyuk (4): pmdinfogen: add Python implementation build: use Python pmdinfogen doc/linux_gsg: require pyelftools for pmdinfogen pmdinfogen: remove C implementation .travis.yml | 2 +- GNUmakefile | 2 +- MAINTAINERS | 2 +- buildtools/Makefile | 9 - buildtools/gen-pmdinfo-cfile.sh | 6 +- buildtools/meson.build | 1 + buildtools/pmdinfogen.py | 194 ++++++++++++ buildtools/pmdinfogen/Makefile | 20 -- buildtools/pmdinfogen/meson.build | 14 - buildtools/pmdinfogen/pmdinfogen.c | 456 ----------------------------- buildtools/pmdinfogen/pmdinfogen.h | 119 -------- doc/guides/linux_gsg/sys_reqs.rst | 6 + drivers/meson.build | 2 +- meson.build | 1 - mk/internal/rte.compile-pre.mk | 2 +- mk/rte.sdkinstall.mk | 2 - 16 files changed, 209 insertions(+), 629 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 buildtools/Makefile create mode 100755 buildtools/pmdinfogen.py delete mode 100644 buildtools/pmdinfogen/Makefile delete mode 100644 buildtools/pmdinfogen/meson.build delete mode 100644 buildtools/pmdinfogen/pmdinfogen.c delete mode 100644 buildtools/pmdinfogen/pmdinfogen.h -- 2.25.4
