Subject: [PATCH 01/13] checkpatch: do is not a possible type
Date: Fri,  3 Oct 2008 16:25:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1223047554-31111-2-git-send-email-apw@shadowen.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1223047554-31111-1-git-send-email-apw@shadowen.org>

A do without braces '{' may trigger a false possible type 'do' and then this
may be interpreted as an external definition of foo():

	do
		foo();
	while (bar);

Add do to the type exclusions.  Fix up tests so we can check for them.
