Hello Jerin, Pavan,

Thanks for the patch.

- The title seems odd to me.

- The documentation should be updated.

- You can still find traces in meson files.
$ git grep -il allow.experimental.api |grep meson.build$ |grep -vE

Sorry, those drivers passing directly the cflag were special cases.
This just leaves lib/librte_mempool/meson.build to clean.

Yup. Mostly base static libs.

I will clean it up in v3. Along with modifying title and updating doc.

Doc to be updated are coding styles and release notes right?
Let me know if anything else need to be added to the list.

Actually, how about something like this in drivers/meson.build ?
Bruce, do you see something wrong with this ?

on top of Pavan patch:

Since the base drivers make use of "cflags", it works afaics.

I see nothing wrong with that.

Out of interest, is there a reason we don't just set it at the top level as
a project c_arg, e.g. after setting "-include rte_config.h" in
config/meson.build?

As long as it is not inherited by examples and external apps, I am
fine with any simple solution :-).

It will be inherited by everything inside the current build, but building
any examples separately or any external apps separately won't be affected.

I think you can squash the patches in a single one.
