> Since GCC 7 is now yesterday's news :-), I figured we should try and make

> 
> * New warnings for fall-though in case statements
> * New warnings for possible truncation using snprintf
> * New warnings about uninitialized values.
> 
> This set of patches fixes or works around those new issues, fixing a couple of
> bugs in the process, so that DPDK can compile using gcc 7.
> 
> NOTE: this set only covers the basic DPDK libs, apps and tests. It does not
> cover the example apps, which still have issues.

> Bruce Richardson (10):
>   mk: adjust gcc flags for new gcc 7 warnings
>   drivers/net: disable new gcc 7 warnings for base code
>   net/bnx2x: fix warnings about switch fall-through
>   net/ixgbe: fix gcc 7 warning for switch fallthrough
>   net/vmxnet3: fix compile error with gcc 7
>   lib: fix gcc 7 warnings for switch fall-through
>   net: fix missing break inside conditional compile block
>   app/testpmd: document explicit switch fall-through
>   test/test: fix missing break in switch
>   test/test: fix gcc 7 compiler error

Applied (with small space fixes), thanks
