-Environment or Architecture-specific Sources
---------------------------------------------
-
-In DPDK and DPDK applications, some code is specific to an architecture (i686, x86_64) or to an executive environment (bsdapp or linuxapp) and so on.
-As far as is possible, all such instances of architecture or env-specific code should be provided via standard APIs in the EAL.
-
-By convention, a file is common if it is not located in a directory indicating that it is specific.
-For instance, a file located in a subdir of "x86_64" directory is specific to this architecture.
-A file located in a subdir of "linuxapp" is specific to this execution environment.
-
-.. note::
-
- 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
-
- #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.
-
-.. note:
-
- As in the linux kernel, the "CONFIG_" prefix is not used in C code.
- This is only needed in Makefiles or shell scripts.
-
-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.
-
-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.
