Hi all,
My platform is:

When I try to compile the source code to x86_64 linuxapp, I got this
error message:

lib/librte_pmd_enic/enic_main.c: In function ?enic_set_rsskey?:
lib/librte_pmd_enic/enic_main.c:862:2: error: value computed is not used

I dig out that, it was ome issue of  the macros rte_memcpy()
#define rte_memcpy(dst, src, n)              \
        ((__builtin_constant_p(n)) ?          \
        memcpy((dst), (src), (n)) :          \
        rte_memcpy_func((dst), (src), (n)))

When I use only (n) instead of (__builtin_constant_p(n), it will pass( I
know that it was incorrect, just a experiment).

But I try to use inline function instead of macros:
static inline void * rte_memcpy(void *dst, const void *src, size_t n)
{
        return __builtin_constant_p(n) ? memcpy(dst, src, n) :
                                         rte_memcpy_func(dst, src, n);
}

It will pass:), and works, this could be one potential workaround fix.

Who knows why? The root cause is what?

I've no idea about this.

Thanks,
Michael
