    "content": "In accordance with draft plan\nhttp://mails.dpdk.org/archives/web/2023-February/002023.html\nintroduces conditionally compiled code to enable building with MSVC that\n_does not_ require C99/C11 meaning it can be integrated now.\n\nThis series covers minimal changes for item #2 in draft plan for EAL\ndependencies log, kvargs, telemetry and consumed EAL public headers.\n\nNote if any patch in the series requires in-depth discussion I'll\ndetach it from this series for separate submission & more focused\ndiscussion so it doesn't block the entire series.\n\nNote other \"common\" intrinsics were investigated for viability but\nwere not adopted either because they were not available on older\nversions of GCC or because they generate different code for msvc\nvs GCC.\n\nv11:\n  * rebase for log lib split: introduces 2 patches to convert to\n    portable use of ternary operator\n  * rebase for log lib split: introduce MSVC versions of\n    RTE_INIT_PRIO and RTE_FINI_PRIO since it is needed by log\n\nv10:\n  * rebase series post 23.07 release. no changes except\n    telemetry: avoid expanding versioned symbol macros on MSVC\n    has been dropped from the series as 23.11 has removed the\n    versioned symbols\n\nv9:\n  * invert macro conditional evaluation and use to be\n    #ifdef RTE_TOOLCHAIN_MSVC instead of #ifndef RTE_TOOLCHAIN_MSVC\n    wherever it doesn't make evaluation more complex than\n    it already is\n\nv8:\n  * use waitpkg intrinsics if __WAITPKG__ is defined by the\n    compiler\n\nv7:\n  * remove patch typedef of rte_cpuflags_t as an int. for now we\n    will just allow warning to be emitted to avoid adding conditional\n    compilation\n\nv6:\n  * convert / expand likely/unlikely macros to _Bool type\n  * expand __extension__ empty it's cleaner to do this for now\n    instead of modifying the whole tree\n  * provide msvc container_of not based on gcc expression\n    statement extension\n  * add patch that stops defining typeof (C23 keyword) when\n    building with msvc\n\nv5:\n  * remove accidental line removal in barrier patch\n  * update prefetch patch to use intrinsics for all toolchains\n  * remove x86 specific changes for byte swap patch since\n    msvc intrinsics are processor agnostic always use\n    intrinsics from generic include\n  * expand __rte_packed empty for msvc packing will be addressed\n    in a separate series\n\nv4:\n  * update rdtsc patch to use gcc intrinsics\n  * update rtm patch to use gcc intrinsics\n  * drop patch disable json print formatting, we will utilize\n    series removing VLAs from Bruce\n  * added patch using prefetch intrinsics for msvc\n  * added patch using byte swap intrinsics for msvc\n  * added patch hiding typdefs for msvc using gcc vector\n    extension\n  * added patch defining MSVC as little endian always\n\nv3:\n  * v3 does not group together conditional blocks when experimented\n    with it didn't reduce conditionals enough to make it worth\n    while. once msvc tests are at a running point i suggest\n    a narrow targeted discussion about code organization without\n    blocking this series\n  * v3 does not attempt to refactor to use intrinsics for non-msvc\n    compilers. again this should be done as a separate follow-up\n    series later if desired\n  * fix expansion of likely and unlikely macros\n  * remove unnecessary define for rte_smp_{r,w}mb it is sufficient\n    for these to be compiler barriers on x86\n  * add a new patch to use __cpuid and __cpuidex intrinsics when\n    building with msvc\n  * add a new patch to use _umonitor, _umwait and _tpause intrinsics\n    when building with msvc\n\nv2:\n  * use _mm_{l,s,m}fence intrinsics for rte_smp_{r,w,}mb macros\n    are intended to be memory barriers not compiler barriers on\n    x86_64\n\nTyler Retzlaff (16):\n  eal: use rdtsc intrinsic\n  eal: use rtm and xtest intrinsics\n  eal: use barrier intrinsics\n  eal: use cpuid and cpuidex intrinsics\n  eal: use umonitor umwait and tpause intrinsics\n  eal: use prefetch intrinsics\n  eal: use byte swap intrinsics\n  eal: hide GCC extension based alignment markers\n  eal: hide typedefs based on GCC vector extensions\n  eal: expand most macros to empty when using MSVC\n  eal: exclude exposure of rte atomic APIs for MSVC builds\n  eal: always define MSVC as little endian\n  eal: do not define typeof macro when building with MSVC\n  log: use standard ternary operator instead of GCC extension\n  eal: use standard ternary operator instead of GCC extension\n  eal: define priority based ctor dtor for MSVC\n\n config/x86/meson.build                  |  6 ++\n lib/eal/common/eal_common_hexdump.c     |  2 +-\n lib/eal/include/generic/rte_atomic.h    | 11 ++++\n lib/eal/include/generic/rte_byteorder.h
