2019-05-16init / exit function orderingDave Barach1-40/+51
The vlib init function subsystem now supports a mix of procedural and formally-specified ordering constraints. We should eliminate procedural knowledge wherever possible. The following schemes are *roughly* equivalent: static clib_error_t *init_runs_first (vlib_main_t *vm) { clib_error_t *error; ... do some stuff... if ((error = vlib_call_init_function (init_runs_next))) return error; ... } VLIB_INIT_FUNCTION (init_runs_first); and static clib_error_t *init_runs_first (vlib_main_t *vm) { ... do some stuff... } VLIB_INIT_FUNCTION (init_runs_first) = { .runs_before = VLIB_INITS("init_runs_next"), }; The first form will [most likely] call "init_runs_next" on the spot. The second form means that "init_runs_first" runs before "init_runs_next," possibly much earlier in the sequence. Please DO NOT construct sets of init functions where A before B actually means A *right before* B. It's not necessary - simply combine A and B - and it leads to hugely annoying debugging exercises when trying to switch from ad-hoc procedural ordering constraints to formal ordering constraints.

2018-08-13Multiarch handling in different constructor macrosDamjan Marion1-0/+33
This significantly reduces need for ... in multiarch code. Simply constructor macros will jost create static unused entry if CLIB_MARCH_VARIANT is defined and that will be optimized out by compiler.

2018-04-09features: don't break linked list, create separate one for arcDamjan Marion1-9/+11
We need to keep original linked list so destructire can remove entries. Change-Id: I5ff5ca0e1a417d88707255207725bba46433c943 Signed-off-by: Damjan Marion <damarion@cisco.com>
