From: Alexey Marchuk <alexey...@mellanox.com>
mlx5 common library checks if several symbols/definitions
are presented in system header files. If some are not
presented, they will be enabled by mlx5_glue library.
The problem appears with clang and '-Werror' - code
generated by meson is not compiled due to unused variable:
Code:
#include <infiniband/mlx5dv.h>
int main(void) {
/* If it's not defined as a macro, try to use as a symbol */
#ifndef mlx5dv_create_flow_action_packet_reformat
mlx5dv_create_flow_action_packet_reformat;
#endif
return 0;
}
Compiler stdout:
Compiler stderr:
/hpc/local/work/alexeymar/repo/spdk/dpdk/build-tmp/meson-private/tmp5obnak86/testfile.c:6:17:
error: expression result unused [-Werror,-Wunused-value]
mlx5dv_create_flow_action_packet_reformat;
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As result, almost all symbols are enabled in mlx5_glue while
they exist is system headers. As result, we get multiple
symbols redefenitions when we compile mlx5_common.
As a solution for this problem we can suppress
-Wunused-vaurable using pragma
DPDK 23.11 note:
Starting with commit below, all cflags are passed to the has_header_symbol().
(33d6694) build: use C11 standard
To make sure that the symbol is properly detected, the pedantic flags needs to
be removed.
