Bug ID: 1645
Summary: The last EAL argument is replaced by the program name
in argv[]
Product: DPDK
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: other
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
The last EAL argument is replaced by program name in argv[] after
eal_parse_args is called. This is the intended behavior but it causes the
pointer to the last EAL argument to be lost.
Implication:
If the last EAL argument in argv[] is generated by a malloc function, changing
it will cause memory issues when freeing the argument.
Resolution/Workaround:
An application should not consider the value in argv[] as unchanged.
Affected Environment/Platform:
ALL.
Driver/Module:
Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL).
