Hi all, I don't know if this is the right place to ask and if the "issue" here is really an expected one, or if I'm just doing something really stupid. So, someone please do let me know.
I found some inconsistencies in some API header files installed under "/usr/include/" , in my case specifically "/usr/include/vnet/ip/ip_types.api_types.h" and "/usr/include/vapi/ip_types.api.vapi.h". For example, "vl_api_ip_dscp_t" is defined in "/usr/include/vnet/ip/ip_types.api_types.h" header file as a packed enum, while "vapi_enum_ip_dscp" (the one used by a e.g. C++ client) defined in "/usr/include/vapi/ip_types.api.vapi.h" as a non-packed enum. This is a problem because, as in my case, the C++ client sends a big message which in the middle it happens to have a vapi_enum_ip_dscp field which is 4 bytes long, while VPP receives this message where it sees the same dscp field as "vapi_enum_ip_dscp" which is 1 byte long, so there you have it, I leave to your imagination the consequences. I may apply some workarounds, but I really wanted to know if this was expected (although I wouldn't know the sense of it). Thank you
