This is for target i686-native-linuxapp-gcc and gcc6,
Compilation error is:
In file included from
include/rte_mempool.h:77:0, from
drivers/net/virtio/virtio_rxtx_simple.c:
In function `virtio_xmit_pkts_simple':
include/rte_memcpy.h:551:2: error:
array subscript is above array bounds
rte_mov16((uint8_t *)dst + 1 * 16, (const uint8_t *)src + 1 * 16);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Call stack is as following:
virtio_xmit_pkts_simple
virtio_xmit_cleanup
rte_mempool_put_bulk
rte_mempool_generic_put
__mempool_generic_put
rte_memcpy
The array used as source buffer in virtio_xmit_cleanup (free) is a
pointer array with 32 elements, in 32bit this makes 128 bytes.
in rte_memcpy() implementation, there a code piece as following:
if (size > 256) {
rte_move128(...);
rte_move128(...); <--- [1]
....
}
The compiler traces the array all through the call stack and knows the
size of array is 128 and generates a warning on above [1] which tries to
access beyond byte 128.
But unfortunately it ignores the "(size > 256)" check.
Giving a hint to compiler that variable "size" is related to the size of
the source buffer fixes compiler warning.
