Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: Add checks for do {} while (0) macro misuses
Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2012 15:11:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1342735885.17350.3.camel@joe2Laptop> (raw)

These types of macros should not be used for either a
single statement nor should the macro end with a semi-colon.

Add tests for these conditions.
