[PATCH 0/6] remove unncessary void cast

[PATCH 0/6] remove unncessary void cast

[Stephen Hemminger]

There are many places that cast away the return value from
rte_memcpy().  This was a common practice in the Unix BSD days because
lint would complain about unused return values, but it is not done
in modern Linux style because it clutters the code.

Maybe it was done for some Coverity warnings. If so, that issue
should be addressed with Coverity overrides not more code clutter.

[PATCH 1/6] testpmd: remove unnecessary void casts

[Stephen Hemminger]

The testpmd was doing old BSD lint style casts of rte_memcpy
to (void). This is unnecessary.

My concern is if coverity complains about return value not checked and
someone starts fixing them adding void casts back.

So I will evaluate the patchset for next-net, so that I can run coverity
on them before merged into main tree, and see the result.

According cover letter, intention seems as removing void casts for
rte_memcpy, and all other updates except this one is for rte_memcpy.

Is above change intentional?

Coverity result on latest next-net (including this patchset)
https://scan.coverity.com/projects/dpdk-next-net

rte_memcpy() return value not checked is not seen as an issue, so this
set is OK.
