Venerable RHEL7 clang 3.4.2 has (at least) two issues with lock annotations.
A first one with regards to the attribute position: ../lib/vhost/vhost.h:518:2: error: GCC does not allow assert_exclusive_lock attribute in this position on a function definition [-Werror,-Wgcc-compat] __rte_assert_exclusive_lock(&vq->access_lock) ^ ../lib/eal/include/rte_lock_annotations.h:29:38: note: expanded from macro '__rte_assert_exclusive_lock' __attribute__((assert_exclusive_lock(__VA_ARGS__))) ^ This can be worked around by splitting and having the allocation on the function declaration. But on the other hand, clang 3.4.2 does not seem to propagate those annotations in presence of a __builtin_expect (i.e. unlikely()), like for example when calling if (unlikely(rte_spinlock_trylock() == 0)). Those annotations were only working with clang in any case, so restrict to clang versions newer than 3.5.0.
