Date: Mon, 9 Sep 2013 21:16:37 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201309092116.GAG52609.LQJOHFFtOSOMFV@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> (raw)

Hello.

Commit d1fe9c09 "checkpatch: add some --strict coding style checks"
introduced dependency on perl >= 5.10.0 .

While the comment says that "Any use must be runtime checked with $^V",
it is not runtime checked when running with perl == v5.8.4 , failing with

  Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/(\((?:[^\(\)]++ <-- HERE |(?-1))*\))/ at ./scripts/checkpatch.pl line 340.

error.
