[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 00/10] Fix build errors related to exported headers

DPDK uses GNU C language extensions in most of its code base. This is fine
for internal source files whose compilation flags are controlled by DPDK,
however user applications that use exported "public" headers may experience
compilation failures when enabling strict error/standard checks (-std and
-pedantic for instance).

Exported headers are installed system-wide and must be as clean as possible
so applications do not have to resort to workarounds.

This patchset affects exported headers only, compilation problems are
addressed as follows:

- Adding the __extension__ keyword to nonstandard constructs (same method
  as existing libraries when there is no other choice).
- Adding the __extension__ keyword to C11 constructs to remain compatible
  with pure C99.
- Adding missing includes so exported files can be included out of order
  and on their own.
- Fixing GNU printf-like variadic macros as there is no magic keyword for
  these.

Changes in v4:

- Dropped "lib: work around structs with no members" patch, now addressed as
  a separate issue outside of this patchset by "mempool: fix empty structure
  definition".
- Fixed remaining compilation error with ICC reported by Ferruh. Finally
  settled on using the __extension__ keyword directly in struct
  rte_pipeline_table_entry as converting it to a standard flexible array may
  break existing programs.

Changes in v3:

- Fixed compilation issue on ARM and POWER8 due to missing parenthesis.
- Added bit-field fix for rte_kni.h.

Changes in v2:

- Rebased on top of the current HEAD.
- Added script to check headers automatically (check-includes.sh), for both
  C and C++ compilation.
- Updated test-build.sh to use it.
- Fixed consistency of new #include directives, now inside extern "C"
  blocks for files that already do that (Jan, fixing these was too much
  work for this patchset so I settled on this solution in the meantime).
- Updated headlines to address check-git-log.sh complaints.

  lib: work around braced-groups within expressions
  lib: work around large enum values
  lib: use C99 syntax for zero-size arrays
  lib: work around nonstandard bit-fields
  lib: work around unnamed structs/unions
  lib: add missing include dependencies
  lib: work around forward reference to enum types
  lib: remove named variadic macros in exported headers
  lib: hide static functions never defined
  scripts: check compilation of exported header files
