As far as I can see, the syntax looks correct.
How are you building/linking your application?
I would suggest to modify the DPDK examples/helloworld application to
just do a simple rte_malloc as a first step.

Subject: [dpdk-dev] Use rte_malloc in application
Hi,
I have a use case in my application where I need to implement my own memory
manager, rather than doing malloc/free everytime to kernel.
Instead of writing my own memory manager, I am thinking to use dpdk rte_malloc
or rte_mempool. Please let me know if this is a good idea.
Also,
my_node_t *data_ptr = (my_node_t *) (uintptr_t) rte_malloc(NULL,
sizeof(my_node_t), 0);
data_ptr is pointing to some invalid memory. Am I doing anything wrong here?
Thanks,
Rohit
