Deep indentation should be fairly easy, given that you already have rules in place that says "Tabs are 8 characters". So if you find a line that begins with more than say 4 SP, you can flag that as already bogus (i.e. "does not indent with HT"), more than 8 SP definitely so. I'll leave harder "complex expressions" to sparse experts ;-), -- 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/
