Hi Hemant, Do you plan to open source and maintain this code generator?

Resending. [If you didn’t read this recent short blog I wrote, https://mnkcg.com/need-for-a-p4tovpp-compiler/, this is what the first paragraph of the blog says. “VPP has stellar data plane code open-sourced by Cisco as a FD.io Linux project. Now VPP runs crypto on latest Intel server hardware at 1 Tbps. Most VPP new features are implemented as a plugin. VPP provides a script using Emacs Lisp to generate a plugin’s stub code. The generated code includes API and CLI to enable-disable plugin. MNK Labs & Consulting saw a need to generate a complete VPP plugin – this would cause less bugs with new plugin and also accelerate VPP plugin development. Emacs Lisp is not the right tool to generate a full VPP plugin including data plane code. MNK saw P4 as a good fit to describe any data plane and used P4 to generate a VPP plugin.” I have proved my point by generating a 5G UPF plugin using the compiler. ] Hemant -----Original Message----- From: vpp-dev@lists.fd.io<mailto:vpp-dev@lists.fd.io> <vpp-dev@lists.fd.io<mailto:vpp-dev@lists.fd.io>> On Behalf Of hemant via lists.fd.io Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2021 10:47 AM To: vpp-dev@lists.fd.io<mailto:vpp-dev@lists.fd.io> Subject: [vpp-dev] VPP Emacs Lisp evolution to P4
