Hi Andy, I just started using checkpatch and I was confused by the following WARN message:
no space between function name and open parenthesis I thought the probelm was that a space was missing while the truth is the opposite. How about the following patch? --- checkpatch.pl.old 2008-01-04 13:37:51.000000000 +0100 +++ checkpatch.pl 2008-01-04 13:37:24.000000000 +0100 @@ -1117,7 +1117,7 @@ while ($line =~ /($Ident)\s+\(/g) { if ($1 !~ /^(?:if|for|while|switch|return|volatile|__volatile__|__attribute__|format|__extension__|Copyright|case)$/ && $line !~ /$Type\s+\(/ && $line !~ /^.\#\s*define\b/) { - WARN("no space between function name and open parenthesis '('\n" . $herecurr); + WARN("don't put a space between function name and open parenthesis '('\n" . $herecurr); } } # Check operator spacing. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
