[dpdk-dev] warnings when including DPDK headers from a C++17 source file

[Montorsi, Francesco]

Hi all,


I just noticed that, because of the removal of the "register" keyword in C++17, 
when I compile my DPDK-enabled code with -std=c++17 I get the following:

?Just thought to let you know... that's a small issue for me since I'm using 
-Werror


Thanks,
