2016-11-21Add client-side msg_name_and_crc -> msg_index tableDave Barach6-393/+98
vppapigen now generates per-message crcs. Verified that whitespace and real changes in message A don't change the crc for message B, etc. Fixed the sample and flowperpkt plugins to participate. Others need the same treatment. They don't build due to python/java language binding build issues. To use the scheme: Client connects as usual. Then call: u32 vl_api_get_msg_index(char * name_and_crc) name_and_crc is a string like: "flowperpkt_tx_interface_add_del_753301f3", aka the message name with _%08x <expected crc> appended. Try these vpp-api-test commands to play with it: vat# dump_msg_api_table <snip> [366]: punt_reply_cca27fbe [367]: ipsec_spd_dump_5e9ae88e [368]: ipsec_spd_details_6f7821b0 [369]: sample_macswap_enable_disable_0f2813e2 [370]: sample_macswap_enable_disable_reply_476738e5 [371]: flowperpkt_tx_interface_add_del_753301f3 [372]: flowperpkt_tx_interface_add_del_reply_d47e6e0b vat# get_msg_id sample_macswap_enable_disable_reply_476738e5 'sample_macswap_enable_disable_reply_476738e5' has message index 370 vat# get_msg_id sample_macswap_enable_disable_reply_476738e3 'sample_macswap_enable_disable_reply_476738e3' not found CRCs may vary, etc. vppapigen is used to build a set of JSON representations of each API file from vpp-api/Makefile.am and that is in turn used by each language binding (Java, Python, Lua).

2016-08-25VPP Python language binding - plugin supportOle Troan12-136/+427
- Moved Python generator tool to tools directory - Added build-vpp-api Makefile target - Generator now only creates a Python representation of the .api the rest of the framework is in the vpp_papi script - Each plugin has its own namespace. - Plugin Python files are installed in vpp_papi_plugins for easy use inside the build tree.

2016-06-27More janitorial workDave Barach3-8/+8
Install vpp api header files in /usr/include/vpp-api, instead of /usr/include/api. Someone will eventually complain if we continue with the status quo. Generate /usr/bin/vpp_plugin_configure, to correctly configure standalone plugin compilation against header files installed from the dev package. If a plugin's CFLAGS don't precisely match the installed vpp engine binary, subtle misbehavior can and will occur. Example: the ip4/ip6 main_t structure size / member offsets depend on DPDK=[0|1]. Screw that one up, and your brand-new configurable ip feature will mysteriously fail to appear, even though the plugin loads perfectly.

2016-06-24VPP-118: add support for variable length arrays to jvppMarek Gradzki1-1/+1
* extends VPP's message definition language with the following syntax: u32 count: u8 array[count]; which is traslated to: u32 count; u8 array[0]; but now, python API representation generated by vppapigen contains information about where the array length is stored. * modifies existing response messages to use the new syntax Change-Id: I68210bc7a3a755d03d067e9b79a567f40e2d31f3 Signed-off-by: Marek Gradzki <mgradzki@cisco.com>
