Of note: - do { and else handled correctly as control structures for { matching - trailing whitespace correctly tripped when line otherwise empty - support for const, including const foo * const bar - multiline macros defining values correctly reported This version of checkpatch.pl can be found at the following URL: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/apw/checkpatch/checkpatch.pl-0.06 Full Changelog: Andy Whitcroft (14): Version: 0.06 cleanup the Type regular expression declarations fix up block counting end of line counts as a space for ++ and -- do { needs the same checks as if, for et al handle "const foo * const a" as a valid type add spacing checks following ; complete whitespace lines should trip trailing whitespace check else is also a block control structure badly formatted else can trip function declaration detect and report trailing statements after else types need to be terminated by a boundary multiline macros defining values should be surrounded by parentheses soften the wording of the Signed-off-by: warnings Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Cc: "Randy.Dunlap" <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This version brings a some new tests, and a host of changes to fix false positives, of particular note: - detect 'var ++;' and 'var --;' as a bad combination - multistatement #defines are now checked based on statement count - multistatement #defines with initialisation correctly reported - checks the location of the inline keywords - EXPORT_SYMBOL for variables are now understood - typedefs are loosened to handle sparse etc This version of checkpatch.pl can be found at the following URL: http://www.shadowen.org/~apw/public/checkpatch/checkpatch.pl-0.05 Full Changelog: Andy Whitcroft (18): Version: 0.05 macro definition checks should be for a single statement avoid assignements only in if conditionals declarations of function pointers need no space multiline macros which are purely initialisation cannot be wrapped EXPORT_SYMBOL can also directly follow a variable definition check on the location of the inline keyword EXPORT_SYMBOL needs to allow for attributes ensure we do not find C99 // in strings handle malformed #include lines accept the {0,} form typedefs are sensible for defining function pointer parameters ensure { handling correctly handles nested switch() statements trailing whitespace checks are not anchored typedefs for sparse bitwise annotations make sense update the type matcher to include sparse annotations clean up indent and spacing Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* add a trivial patch style checkerAndy Whitcroft2007-06-011-0/+595
We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree. These detract from the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers. As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and include it in the kernel tree. Add instructions suggesting running it on submissions. This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.
