I replied in the wrong thread, here it comes again: Also '-Warray-bounds'? Consider making it a series, and also remove existing overflow/overread pragmas in the code (if viable): lib/ring/rte_ring_elem_pvt.h - You did this already! lib/eal/ppc/include/rte_memcpy.h With or without suggested changes, Acked-by: Morten Brørup <[email protected]>
