There is none, since it isn't useful to disable optimizations (unless you're trying to do something that OVS doesn't support, as you are). > Also, another strange thing I have found out is that when I commented > out "modify_vlan_tci" in ~/openvswitch/datapath/actions.c, it din't > throw up any error in make, install time and even at run time using > mininet (with ovsk switch and "dpctl > actions=mod_vlan_vid:xx,output:yy) You commented out something at random and expect us to tell you why what happened, happened?
