> We'd need to include the definition of rte_int128_t, so we'd also need either an ifdef on RTE_ARCH_64 or RTE_ARCH_X86_64 to protect 32-bit builds. That macro would prevent doxygen from parsing that section, unless we add a workaround like, for example:

> So the patch would look like the v3, with the declaration in generic/rte_atomic.h, but with that preprocessor change. If we change RTE_ARCH_X86_64 to RTE_ARCH_64, I'd add a note clarifying that it's only implemented for x86-64. What do you think?
I would like to see the doc in the generic file
and the implementation in the x86 file.
I tried forward declaration of the typedef:
struct rte_int128;
typedef struct rte_int128 rte_int128_t;
I don't why it does not work.
So I'm trying to protect the declaration with
#ifdef __DOXYGEN__
