Detect BPF tags for license

Open pombredanne opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

See https://github.com/projectcalico/calico/blob/4ac717de1f4032ddce7112f74d2becc4062c9c49/felix/bpf-apache/filter.c#L102

We are detecting OK... but we could do even better, like handling these as special tags or as packages:

char ____license[] attribute((section("license"))) = "Apache-2.0";
