Subject: update checkpatch to version 0.20
Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2008 13:05:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1213272362-19457-1-git-send-email-apw@shadowen.org> (raw)
Following this email is the next batch of updates to checkpatch.
This marks a change in how I intend to send updates. The previous
"single delta" update caused us to lose a patch from Greg KH (which is
re-included in this update), bad. By sending the actual patches we avoid
regressing anything I have missed, it also has the advantage of maintaining
individual changes to carry signoff more accurately and generally being
more transparent.
This version brings a few new checks and the usual slew of fixes for
false positives mostly in type detection. Of note:
- allow printk text strings to bust the width restrictions for
grepability,
- major fixes for possible type/modifier handling,
- trailing statement checks for case and default,
- trailing statement checks for for and while,
- spacing checks for square brackets '[' ']',
- conditions/loops indent checks, and
- checks for new use of __initcall.
Complete changelog below.
