[v3,1/8] arg_parser: new library for command line parsing
Checks
Commit Message
Add a new library to make it easier for eal and other libraries to parse
command line arguments.
The first function in this library is one to parse a corelist string
into an array of individual core ids. The function will then return the
total number of cores described in the corelist.

There are other patches outstanding on the list for argument parsing too
[1], and we need to reconcile what goes into what libraries with what names!
Probably they can all be merged into one, but we need to check.
[1] http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=30439
Some minor comments inline below for any v4.

Not sure what order, if any, these elements are in, but I think argument
parsing could well be further up the list. It also reduces the diff by one
line, since you don't need to append the comma on the end of rte_thread
line.

This set of if-else branches could do with a few comments.
The first case, min == -1, is for when we get a bare number without a
range, right? The second is when the range is reversed, e.g. 6-3, rather
than 3-6, and the last is for normal ranges. A one-line comment in each leg
of the condition would make this clearer for anyone editing it in future.

Since you no longer have the bitmask on the heap, total_count is
unnecessary since there is no "free" call.
You can just do "return corebits_to_array(...)"

nit: use size_t typed parameters for things that are used as an offset /

+ * Convert a string describing a list of core ids into an array of core ids.
+ *
+ * On success, the passed array is filled with the core ids present in the list up
+ * to the "cores_len", and the number of unique cores present in the "corelist"
+ * is returned.
+ * For example, passing a 1-3,6 "corelist" results in an array of [1, 2, 3, 6]
+ * and would return 4.
+ *
+ * NOTE: if the length of the input array is insufficient to hold the number of core ids
+ * in "corelist" the input array is filled to capacity but the return value is the
+ * number of elements which would have been written to the array, had enough space been
+ * available. [This is similar to the behaviour of the snprintf function]. Because of
+ * this, the number of core values in the "corelist" may be determined by calling the
+ * function with a NULL array pointer and array length given as 0.
+ *
+ * @param corelist
+ * Input string describing a list of core ids.
+ * @param cores
+ * An array where to store the core ids.
+ * Array can be NULL if "cores_len" is 0.
+ * @param cores_len
+ * The length of the "cores" array.
+ * If the size is smaller than that needed to hold all cores from "corelist",
+ * only "cores_len" elements will be written to the array.
+ * @return
+ * n: the number of unique cores present in "corelist".
+ * -1 if the string was invalid.
+ * NOTE: if n > "cores_len", then only "cores_len" elements in the "cores" array are valid.
