Hi Ferruh,
Even the vector mode is a data, it still is a bit field option, if we treated them
differently, that will make 'rte_eth_burst_mode_option_name' ugly like:
switch (option) {
case RTE_ETH_BURST_SCALAR: return "Scalar";
case RTE_ETH_BURST_VECTOR: return "Vector";
case RTE_ETH_BURST_SCATTERED: return "Scattered";
case RTE_ETH_BURST_BULK_ALLOC: return "Bulk Alloc";
case RTE_ETH_BURST_SIMPLE: return "Simple";
case RTE_ETH_BURST_PER_QUEUE: return "Per Queue";
}
static const struct {
uint64_t vector;
const char *name;
} rte_burst_vector_names[] = {
{ RTE_ETH_BURST_ALTIVEC, "AltiVec" },
{ RTE_ETH_BURST_NEON, "Neon" },
{ RTE_ETH_BURST_SSE, "SSE" },
{ RTE_ETH_BURST_AVX2, "AVX2" },
{ RTE_ETH_BURST_AVX512, "AVX512" },
};
for (i = 0; i < RTE_DIM(rte_burst_vector_names); ++i) {
if (option == rte_burst_ vector _names[i].option)
return rte_burst_option_names[i].name;
}
Why just put them together ?
static const struct {
uint64_t option;
const char *name;
} rte_burst_option_names[] = {
{ RTE_ETH_BURST_SCALAR, "Scalar" },
{ RTE_ETH_BURST_VECTOR, "Vector" },
{ RTE_ETH_BURST_ALTIVEC, "AltiVec" },
{ RTE_ETH_BURST_NEON, "Neon" },
{ RTE_ETH_BURST_SSE, "SSE" },
{ RTE_ETH_BURST_AVX2, "AVX2" },
{ RTE_ETH_BURST_AVX512, "AVX512" },
{ RTE_ETH_BURST_SCATTERED, "Scattered" },
{ RTE_ETH_BURST_BULK_ALLOC, "Bulk Alloc" },
{ RTE_ETH_BURST_SIMPLE, "Simple" },
{ RTE_ETH_BURST_PER_QUEUE, "Per Queue" },
};
const char *
rte_eth_burst_mode_option_name(uint64_t option)
{
const char *name = "";
unsigned int i;
for (i = 0; i < RTE_DIM(rte_burst_option_names); ++i) {
if (option == rte_burst_option_names[i].option) {
name = rte_burst_option_names[i].name;
break;
}
}
return name;
}
