Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: Improve TYPECAST_INT_CONSTANT test message
Date: Mon, 18 Jan 2021 09:19:18 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ecefe8dcb93fe7028311b69dd297ba52224233d4.camel@perches.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <b9861410-f23d-62aa-cdc9-9e2918359a86@interlog.com>
Improve the TYPECAST_INT_CONSTANT test by showing the suggested
conversion for various type of uses like (unsigned int)1 to 1U.
Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>

Douglas Gilbert sent me a private email (and in that email said he
'loves to hate checkpatch' ;) complaining that checkpatch warned on the
use of the cast of '(unsigned int)1' so make it more obvious why the
message is emitted by always showing the suggested conversion.
