Hi Kevin,

I see this build failure in Debian 12 and Fedora 40:

$ meson --werror --buildtype=debugoptimized build && ninja -C build
[..]
drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_meter.c:916:25: error: 's' may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

Will update with the rest of our functional testing later during the next couple of weeks.

Regards,
Ali
