From e5ff5a36dd126ee57dca4e0b03da2f7704e0a4f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ole Troan Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2019 22:55:18 +0200 Subject: api: enforce vla is last and fixed string type Enforce that variable length fields are the last element of API messages. Add a 'fixed' version of string type, since dealing with multiple variable length strings turned out too painful for the C language bindings. The string type is now: { string name[64]; // NUL terminated C-string. Essentially decays to u8 name[64] string name[]; // Variable length string with embedded len field (vl_api_string_t) }; The latter notation could be made available to other types as well. e.g. { vl_api_address_t addresses[]; } instead of { u32 n_addr; vl_api_address_t addresses[n_addr]; }; Type: fix Change-Id: I18fa17ef47227633752ab50453e8d20a652a9f9b Signed-off-by: Ole Troan --- src/vnet/ip/punt.api | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'src/vnet/ip/punt.api') diff --git a/src/vnet/ip/punt.api b/src/vnet/ip/punt.api index 72efc7a9557..9890385fe5a 100644 --- a/src/vnet/ip/punt.api +++ b/src/vnet/ip/punt.api @@ -13,7 +13,7 @@ * limitations under the License. */ -option version = "2.1.0"; +option version = "2.2.0"; import "vnet/ip/ip_types.api"; /** \brief The types of packets to be punted @@ -134,7 +134,7 @@ autoreply define punt_socket_deregister { typedef punt_reason { u32 id; - string name; + string name[]; }; /** \brief Dump all or one of the excpetion punt reasons -- cgit 1.2.3-korg
