[dpdk-dev] [EXT] [PATCH v2] tracepoint: fix compilation with C++

[Sunil Kumar Kori]

Hello Pawel,

Few suggestions:
1. use 'trace' instead of 'tracepoint' in subject line. i.e. "trace: fix compilation with C++"
1. Update change history.
2. Add Fixes tag.
3. Superseed the previous version of this fix.

Reference: http://patches.dpdk.org/patch/66396/
Rest Looks okay. Please submit next version with above update.

Regards
Sunil Kumar Kori
