p4c: Conditional execution in actions is not supported
action drop() {
mark_to_drop();
exit;
}
action forward_ipv4() {
hdr.ipv4.ttl = hdr.ipv4.ttl - 1;
if (hdr.ipv4.ttl == 0) {
drop();
}
}
The above code snippet from P4D2 ARP exercise will trigger a compiler error in the frontend. Both p4test and p4c-bm2-ss report the same error.
