[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v11 2/2] librte_pmd_null: Support port hotplug function

[Mcnamara, John]

Hi,

The HEAD doesn't compile with gcc 4.7.2:

    $ git clone http://dpdk.org/git/dpdk
    $ cd dpdk
    $ make T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc -j install 

    ...
    == Build lib/librte_pipeline
      SYMLINK-FILE include/rte_pipeline.h
      CC rte_pipeline.o

The following commit introduced this issue:

    $ git bisect good                              
    c743e50c475f73edf78e5ba26445d7c6ea217f40 is the first bad commit

        null: new poll mode driver

        
I don't see the issue with gcc 4.9.
