+ Code in DPDK libraries and applications should be generic.
+ The correct location for architecture or executive environment specific code is in the EAL.
When absolutely necessary, there are several ways to handle specific code:
* Use a ``#ifdef`` with the CONFIG option in the C code.
This can be done when the differences are small and they can be embedded in the same C file:
-.. code-block: console
+ .. code-block:: c
- #ifdef RTE_ARCH_I686
- toto();
- #else
- titi();
- #endif
+ #ifdef RTE_ARCH_I686
+ toto();
+ #else
+ titi();
+ #endif
* Use the CONFIG option in the Makefile. This is done when the differences are more significant.
- In this case, the code is split into two separate files that are architecture or environment specific. This should only apply inside the EAL library.

Per Architecture Sources
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following config options can be used:
-* CONFIG_RTE_ARCH is a string that contains the name of the architecture.
-* CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_I686, CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_X86_64, CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_X86_64_32 or CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_PPC_64 are defined only if we are building for those architectures.
+* ``CONFIG_RTE_ARCH`` is a string that contains the name of the architecture.
+* ``CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_I686``, ``CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_X86_64``, ``CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_X86_64_32`` or ``CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_PPC_64`` are defined only if we are building for those architectures.
Per Execution Environment Sources
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following config options can be used:
-* CONFIG_RTE_EXEC_ENV is a string that contains the name of the executive environment.
-* CONFIG_RTE_EXEC_ENV_BSDAPP or CONFIG_RTE_EXEC_ENV_LINUXAPP are defined only if we are building for this execution environment.
+* ``CONFIG_RTE_EXEC_ENV`` is a string that contains the name of the executive environment.
+* ``CONFIG_RTE_EXEC_ENV_BSDAPP`` or ``CONFIG_RTE_EXEC_ENV_LINUXAPP`` are defined only if we are building for this execution environment.
Library Statistics
------------------
.. code-block:: console
- # DPDK file config/common_linuxapp, config/common_bsdapp, etc.
- CONFIG_RTE_<LIBRARY_NAME>_STATS_COLLECT=y/n
+ # DPDK file config/common_linuxapp, config/common_bsdapp, etc.
+ CONFIG_RTE_<LIBRARY_NAME>_STATS_COLLECT=y/n
The default value for this DPDK configuration file variable (either "yes" or
"no") is decided by each library.
