Why not: "errno || parsing_end[0] != 0"
?

Otherwise something like "1blah" would be considered as valid input.

If negative values are not allowed, then why not:

unsigned long master_lcore;
...
master_lcore = strtoul(...)
...
if(master_clore > RTE_MAX_LCORE)
    return -1;

I don't really like an idea of introducing strict order between -c and  "--master-lcore..
Can we move check for coremask_ok/ and assignment of cfg->master_lcore out of  
while (getopt_long(...)) loop?

Minor comments inline below, I don’t need to see another patch.

Missing a space between “id” and “after”.

Same here in the Linux version of the code.

Good point.

Matter of taste. Your code is less explicit.
But it should be
	if(master_clore >= RTE_MAX_LCORE)
Anyone else to vote for 1 solution or the other?

Me too. And Aaron too :)

Yes we should move the check outside of the loop.
First we should migrate all flags check in a common function for BSD and Linux.

Simon made the v1. I made the v2. Any volunteer for the v3?

Thanks, that was quick! Quicker than me, actually. ;-)

I started to rebase and modify my previous patch as well but I got a bit 
stuck because I wanted to try to solve the command order issue that 
Aaron mentioned. In fact, I agree with him in this point. However, I 
figured out that more preceding patches might be required to get this 
proberly done.
The issue is that I would like to have all code that changes the master 
lcore placed completely in eal_common_options.c.
Something like eal_common_sanity_check() and eal_common_configure() 
functions would be needed because eal_parse_common_option() is just 
called within the option parsing loop. Maybe we can improve this later?

I am fine with this patch but I have some comments inlined.
In general: acknowledged from my side.

Thanks a lot,

Simon

It might be helpful to return another error code (e.g., -2) that signals 
that the specified lcore is not part of the lcore mask.
