Subject: [PATCH 37/39] eal: add utilities for working with user config struct
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 10:45:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721094555.2188496-38-bruce.richardson@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260721094555.2188496-1-bruce.richardson@intel.com>
Since the user-config struct has tailqs elements, string elements and
variable length arrays it cannot be initialized via a simple "= {0}" and
copy and cleanup requires looping through the various non-basic
elements. Add functions below the struct definitions to handle these
tasks correctly, adding a comment on the struct to remind any future
editors to also adjust the functions if necessary.
