So the symbol move should not hurt more. And the API change (return type) should not be a big deal, but at least an API change notification is required in the release notes. Other opinion? > or do I need to see about doing a new patchset with the NEXT_ABI macros > included in it? My preference is obviously for the former. No NEXT_ABI is required when ABI is already broken IMHO.

If ethdev ABI is already broken, then sure, this additional break for debug build is no big deal, I think. I can do a respin of these two patches to include an API note for release notes. However, I see now that I also need to remove the functions from the map file. I could do with some help to make sure I do this correctly though. Reading through the doc on ABI versionning, it looks like I should completely move all existing functions from the existing release versions and move them to a new 2.2 section, dropping the four now-inline functions along the way. Is this the correct thing to do? /Bruce

Ok, so assuming we care about the ABI for debug builds, is it enough to just
push a patch with a deprecation notice for this for 2.2, or do I need to see
about
doing a new patchset with the NEXT_ABI macros included in it? My preference is
obviously for the former.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 2/2] ethdev: add sanity checks to functions
The functions rte_eth_rx_queue_count and rte_eth_descriptor_done are
supported by very few PMDs. Therefore, it is best to check for support
for the functions in the ethdev library, so as to avoid run-time crashes
at run-time if the application goes to use those APIs. Similarly, the
port parameter should also be checked for validity.

This breaks ABI since older application built with debug will try
and find the shared library entry for the routine.
