Commit Message

Honnappa Nagarahalli April 30, 2020, 1:56 a.m. UTC
test_ring.c takes lot of time to compile with clang. It is
reproducable with compiler version 8.0 on Ubuntu 18.04.
Amount of testing is reduced, but attempt is made to keep
the same coverage.

That's a lot better!

Please could you explain (in the commit log) what was taking
so long to compile in the previous code?

nit: reproducable -> reproducible

Thanks, Honnappa!

One thing to note, I don't see this with just clang - it occurs with gcc
as well.  I'm going to test this patch today.

Which gcc version are you using? I do not see test_ring.c taking much time for compilation for gcc on my x86 platform.
The clang issue is seen on x8, on Arm it does not show issues.

7.4.0, but I'm also adding asan and ubsan to it.

I didn't check arm, yet

Ok, ubsan+ gcc 8.4.0 is taking time on Arm as well.

Sorry I forgot to send the reply.  This got me further in my work, so
I'm happy with it from that perspective.

BUT, it still did take a bit longer with this version than with
Konstantin's patch.  I have no opinion which is the more "technically
correct" version.

Konstantin, Honnappa,
Any update about a fix for compilation time please?

+1
A good amount of time waiting for builds is on this code.

Between 69567 and 69559:
http://patches.dpdk.org/patch/69567/
http://patches.dpdk.org/patch/69559/
my preference is still 69559, as it compiles faster and doesn't reduce test coverage.
But as I said before - I can live with both.
As I remember Honnappa had some concerns regarding 69559.
If that is still the case, then to unblock the situation I am ok
to go ahead with 69567.

Apologies for missing these emails.

Thanks Konstantin.
I ran the tests with both the patches and I see that both of them are showing the same exact numbers on Arm platform.
I liked your patch because I think it is better for future additions of test cases.
With my patch, I am concerned that we might hit the issue in the future again. I will add my acked-by to your patch and mark my patch rejected.
