Two approaches I have tested to resolve the error are: 1) skip if building with clang: <blockquote> #if !defined(__clang__) && ((defined(RTE_ARCH_ARM) && defined(RTE_ARCH_32)) || \ 72 (defined(RTE_ARCH_ARM64) && RTE_CC_IS_GNU && (GCC_VERSION < 70000))) </blockquote> 2) skip if not building for ARMv7: <blockquote> #if (defined(RTE_ARCH_ARMv7) && defined(RTE_ARCH_32)) || \ (defined(RTE_ARCH_ARM64) && RTE_CC_IS_GNU && (GCC_VERSION < 70000)) </blockquote> Both address our immediate problem, but may not be a appropriate for all cases. Can anyone suggest the proper way to address this? I'll be submitting an patch once I have a solution that is acceptable to the community. Regards, Roger </body> </html>
