[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] mbuf: fix compile by making sched struct visible

[Thomas Monjalon]

> Although C compilation works with the struct rte_mbuf_sched
> declared inside the struct rte_mbuf namespace, C++ fails to
> compile. This fix moves the rte_mbuf_sched struct up to the
> global namespace, instead of declaring it inside the struct
> mbuf namespace.
> 
> The struct rte_mbuf_sched is being used on the stack in
> rte_mbuf_sched_get() and as a cast in _set(). For this
> reason, it must be exposed as an available type.

What are the other possible solutions?
