Actually if it was a new line, it would have been reported, at least in
theory:
# check for memory barriers without a comment.
if ($line =~
/\b(mb|rmb|wmb|read_barrier_depends|smp_mb|smp_rmb|smp_wmb|smp_read_barrier_depends)\(/)
{
if (!ctx_has_comment($first_line, $linenr)) {
CHK("MEMORY_BARRIER",
"memory barrier without comment\n" . $herecurr);
}
}
