[RFC PATCH v2 02/33] eal: fix variable shadowing

Bruce Richardson bruce.richardson at intel.com
Fri Nov 7 16:49:58 CET 2025


Fix a range of variable shadowing issues flagged by -Wshadow:

* In tracing code, rename local variables to remove shadowing in the
  code.  The file-level variable "trace" is kept as-is, but the shorter
  name "t" is used for function-local vars.
* In options code, rename the "args" variable to "out_args" in the
  telemetry callback, to fix shadowing issues there.
* In malloc code, remove the redefinition of aligned_end, and just use
  the already-defined local variable in the last block of code in the
  function.

Bugzilla ID: 1742
