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/session/session.api | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'src/vnet/session/session.api') diff --git a/src/vnet/session/session.api b/src/vnet/session/session.api index 52e050d3978..6f208ff5b0e 100644 --- a/src/vnet/session/session.api +++ b/src/vnet/session/session.api @@ -320,9 +320,9 @@ autoreply define connect_sock { u8 ip[16]; u16 port; u8 proto; + u64 parent_handle; u8 hostname_len; u8 hostname[hostname_len]; - u64 parent_handle; }; /** \brief ask app to add a new cut-through registration -- cgit 1.2.3-korg
