Getting Started with P4

Hello,

I am having following error while compiling .p4 program on Tofino model:

error: : condition too complex, limit of 4 bytes + 12 bits of PHV input exceeded
if (a - b)>0){
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I have no clue of what’s causing this error, can anyone give some advice please?
Thanks in advance.

For questions about Tofino and its P4 compiler and run time, if you are an academic member you should ask via a forum at the Intel Connectivity Research Program Advance Networking in the Intel® Connectivity Research Program

If you are a commercial Tofino user, you should ask via the support channels provided to you as a commercial user.

it seems there is an error in your syntax, you are missing a parenthesis
maybe it should be:
if ( (a - b) > 0 ) {
…
}
