[ovs-dev] Adding a new file to ovs-master

[ravali.burra at wipro.com]

Hi Russell & Thomas,

When I am adding the new header file in bridge.c file depending on the order of the header file I am seeing different errors i.e. if I place the header file in the end of header file section i.e. before the declaration of VLOG module declaration  then I am facing the issue like

./include/openvswitch/vlog.h:284:16: error: expected ';', identifier or '(' before 'struct'
         extern struct vlog_module VLM_##MODULE;

If I place the header file in the middle of the header file section ie before seq.h  I am facing the error like

lib/seq.h:121:1: error: expected ';', identifier or '(' before 'struct'
 struct seq *seq_create(void);

Depending on the placement of the header file in declaration section I am facing different types of errors related to next header file.

Can you please let me know how to proceed further.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Ravali

It's difficult to know what the problem is and provide useful input without seeing the code and the full error you get.  Would you like to throw it in a git repo on github or something and show the full error?
