Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] eal/ppc: ignore gcc 10 stringop-overflow warnings
From: David Christensen <hidden>

Suppress gcc warning "warning: writing 16 bytes into a region of
size 0" for users of the POWER rte_memcpy() function. Existing
rte_memcpy() code takes different code paths based on the actual
size of the move so the warning is already addressed. See also

v2:
- update copyright year
- rebase for 21.11-rc0David M, Any chance of getting this approved in the 21.11 cycle? Patch was originally submitted on 6/23, is only applicable to PPC architecture, and has no functional impact because it only disables warnings. Patchwork reports a performance test regression on x86 systems: http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20210902221514.3215704-1-drc@linux.vnet.ibm.com/ But I don't see how that is possible. Applying the patch on a local x86 system results in identical x86 binaries with and without the patch applied. It would appear that the test-to-test performance variations exceed the failure threshold on the CI setup. Dave
