Compiling C++ BPF programs with existing bpf_helper_defs.h is not
Just curious, why you want to compile BPF programs with C++?
The patch looks good to me. But it would be great to know
some reasoning since a lot of stuff, e.g., some CORE related
intrinsics, not available for C++.
Can you share more? What's not available? Any pointers to the docs maybe?
Sorry, it is an attribute, instead of instrinsics.
The attribute preserve_access_index/btf_type_tag/btf_decl_tag are all C
only.
In llvm-project/clang/include/clang/Basic/Attr.td:
def BPFPreserveAccessIndex : InheritableAttr,
TargetSpecificAttr<TargetBPF> {
let Spellings = [Clang<"preserve_access_index">];
let Subjects = SubjectList<[Record], ErrorDiag>;
let Documentation = [BPFPreserveAccessIndexDocs];
let LangOpts = [COnly];
}
def BTFDeclTag : InheritableAttr {
let Spellings = [Clang<"btf_decl_tag">];
let Args = [StringArgument<"BTFDeclTag">];
let Subjects = SubjectList<[Var, Function, Record, Field, TypedefName],
ErrorDiag>;
let Documentation = [BTFDeclTagDocs];
let LangOpts = [COnly];
}
def BTFTypeTag : TypeAttr {
let Spellings = [Clang<"btf_type_tag">];
let Args = [StringArgument<"BTFTypeTag">];
let Documentation = [BTFTypeTagDocs];
let LangOpts = [COnly];
}
People here want to try to use c++ to see if templating helps with v4
vs v6 handling.
We have a bunch of copy-paste around this place and would like to see
whether c++ could make it a bit more readable.
possible due to stricter C++ type conversions. C++ complains
about (void *) type conversions:
bpf_helper_defs.h:57:67: error: invalid conversion from ‘void*’ to ‘void* (*)(void*, const void*)’ [-fpermissive]
57 | static void *(*bpf_map_lookup_elem)(void *map, const void *key) = (void *) 1;
| ^~~~~~~~~~
| |
| void*
Extend bpf_doc.py to use proper function type instead of void.
Could you specify what exactly the compilation command triggering the
above error?
The following does it for me:
clang++ --include linux/types.h ./tools/lib/bpf/bpf_helper_defs.h
Thanks. It would be good if you add the above compilation command
in the commit message.
Sure, will add.
Before:
static void *(*bpf_map_lookup_elem)(void *map, const void *key) = (void *) 1;
After:
static void *(*bpf_map_lookup_elem)(void *map, const void *key) = (void *(*)(void *map, const void *key)) 1;
