The mechanism used to initialize an __m128i data type in rte_thash.h is non-portable and MSVC does not like it. It clearly is not doing what is desired:
..\lib\hash\rte_thash.h(38): warning C4305: 'initializing': truncation from 'unsigned __int64' to 'char' ..\lib\hash\rte_thash.h(38): warning C4305: 'initializing': truncation from 'unsigned __int64' to 'char' A more portable approach is to use compiler intrinsics to perform the initialization. This patch uses a single compiler intrinsic to initialize the data type using a sequence of 16 bytes stored in memory. There should be no perf degradation due to this change.
