Hello Bruce,
Hi Gregory, some high-level feedback:
* I'd suggest for future revisions splitting this into two patches. The rust
example should be separate from a patch adding the basic rust
infrastructure.
In progress.
* For the example, I'd suggest that the helloworld rust example should
correspond to the regular "C" helloworld example, i.e just init DPDK and
print helloworld. If we want a basic packet handling example, it should be
an l2fwd one - again to align with the "C" examples.
The next patch update will not include that example.
* However, in terms of the examples, if the idea is to provide higher level
"rustic" APIs for DPDK, the examples should be written to use that. Any use
of the low-level C APIs should be in a testing app only, rather than an example
app. IMHO We want to encourage proper rust usage, not C-code just rewritten to
use a different compiler.
This project, in its current stage, is a bit of an experiment.
I'm trying to figure out how much effort it will take to provide DPDK API for
Rust application.
Rust API is the final goal.
Regards,
Gregory
