The following series gets current master able to build
itself, and allow lagopus to build against it, on Fedora 28 +
x86_64 using gcc 8.0.1.

The first 17 patches have already been through two spins and
this time are corrected for all the comment (thanks to
everybody who commented) since v2, and have tested-by /
acked-bys applied.  The first workaround patch for the hash
function cast problem is dropped since something has already
been applied in master since yesterday to address it.

The additional 23 patches are fixes for problems found
actually trying to build lagopus using current master.
These are almost entirely related to signed / unsigned
or truncation without explicit casts inside dpdk
headers.

Hi,

I've built-tested this series on Debian Stretch (gcc 6.3) and
Debian
Sid (gcc 8.1).

The series builds fine with the default config, but the bnx2x and
mlx5
PMDs still have errors with gcc-8:

Yes I just built it with defconfig for x86_64 on Fedora 28 with
default
tools and cleared out everything that came up.

Hope this can be useful.

I think gcc 8.0.1 is capable to show that and I am willing to look
at
them.  But can you help me with exactly what changes you made so
these
things built and made trouble, compared to the defconfig I have used
until now?

If you already have a build directory you are using, the simplest way
is to edit the .config file in there and change the following from =n
to =y:

CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MLX4_PMD
CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MLX5_PMD
CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_BNX2X_PMD

Then rebuild and you should see the errors.

Personally, though I wouldn't view it as necessary to get those extra fixes
into this set. The set is big enough as it is, so I'd like to see the
existing gcc 8 fixes we have merged to make some progress, rather than
constantly spinning ever bigger sets to try and fix them all in one go.

Sorry, but your codebase just keeps coming up with new things to fix.

Unfortunately I have yet to see gcc8 complain about something that was not a real problem in the code.

If I were maintaining this, what I would do is look through the freebies I am getting from that awesome guy who is donating his time fixing my code, and anything that I could understand was useful, I would apply, let him rebase out the stuff that is in, reissue, until everything that is going in, is in.

You don't have to apply the whole series, that is just how I am posting them because that is how they are in my tree. Likewise, if I post 2 x 20 patches, instead of 1 x 40, it makes no difference what you choose to cherrypick.

The problems Luca pointed our are caused by problems in your code, not gcc8, and not me fixing more things in your code for free.

I get it you want to make a release but am I the only person throwing gcc8 quality-related patches at you? Then maybe you should take a pause and absorb the quality improvements instead of releasing known-broken code (let us pretend there are not 166 coverity breakages).

My 2c.

...and I would get rid of completely pointless "quality theater" roadblocks like this git subject grep stuff.
