I’d rather not move the API test tool. It’s compiled into vpp itself these 
days, to facilitate binary API - and vpp_api_test - debugging.

I worked hard enough on the problem so that vpp manages to inhale vpp_api_test 
plugins, so that essentially the entire binary API can be exercised through the 
“binary-api” debug CLI...

Maybe we ought to have a session on this general topic next Tuesday?

Thanks… Dave

Hi VPP-ites,

That's maybe not such a bad notion.  What about taking, say, the
entire VAT piece out of VPP proper, and making it a standalone project
that is built using an installed RPM/DEB VPP build instead?

Sure, it would be a bit of a pain for some developer, but it would also
help to crystalize the boundaries between VPP-proper and CLI/API
users as well.  As it is, there are some fairly serious cross-over issues
that are discovered as we stumble through our development as an
API-only-user application.  (This issue, the CLI directly using some
functions instead of an API, is what lead me to introduce a patch for
the "set MAC address API", for example.)

HTH,
jdl
