Re: [dpdk-dev] Build failures in 21.11-rc2

Do the machines used for the CentOS 8 CI builds support AVX512?

The failing build is on an Ice Lake server with:
     meson -Dmachine=native build
     ninja -C build

21.11-rc2 builds are failing on CentOS 8.4, apparently because
the intrinsic _mm512_set_epi8() is not defined in the GCC
headers (see example below).

Thanks for reporting Lance.
It rings a bell, think it was mentionned in the past.

CI compilation was passing:

I would like to better understand.

Here is a GCC patch to add this intrinsic:

BTW, GCC 10.2.1 (via "scl enable gcc-toolset-10") is able to build
21.11-rc2 successfully on CentOS 8.4.

What is different in your setup compared to the CI?
