From: Thomas Monjalon Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2018 16:00:28 +0000 (+0100) Subject: net/mlx5: fix build on PPC64 X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=725f5dd0bfb50192a2d2341d4cc69084c2c4e03d;p=dpdk.git net/mlx5: fix build on PPC64 The AltiVec header file breaks boolean type: error: incompatible types when initializing type '__vector _bool int' {aka '_vector(4) __bool int'} using type 'int' If __APPLE_ALTIVEC__ is defined, then bool type is redefined and conflicts with stdbool.h. There is no good solution to fix it for the whole project without breaking something else, so a workaround is inserted in mlx5 PMD. This workaround is not compatible with C++ but there is no C++ in DPDK.
