Subject: [PATCH] pktgen: Remove VLA usage
Date: Thu, 8 Mar 2018 23:43:40 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180309054340.GA14439@embeddedgus> (raw)
In preparation to enabling -Wvla, remove VLA usage and replace it
with a fixed-length array instead.

David,
I'm not sure how often this function is being called and,
depending on the frequency it may be worth to use
dynamic memory allocation instead?
Thanks
