From 6d32f7a391466ed89d8a1018fdff5330766cc272 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2015 16:31:37 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: improve the unnecessary initialisers tests Global and static variables don't need to be initialized to 0. There is already a test for this but the output message doesn't mention booleans initialized to false. Improve the output message and the test by adding various forms with possible specific integer types and possible multiple zeros. Miscellanea: o Use a variable to hold the possible 0 test Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Shailendra Verma Tested-by: Shailendra Verma Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- scripts/checkpatch.pl | 15 ++++++++------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/checkpatch.pl b/scripts/checkpatch.pl index 2d88cbf9f884..2b3c22808c3b 100755 --- a/scripts/checkpatch.pl +++ b/scripts/checkpatch.pl @@ -370,6 +370,8 @@ our $typeTypedefs = qr{(?x: $typeKernelTypedefs\b )}; +our $zero_initializer = qr{(?:(?:0[xX])?0+$Int_type?|NULL|false)\b}; + our $logFunctions = qr{(?x: printk(?:_ratelimited|_once|)| (?:[a-z0-9]+_){1,2}(?:printk|emerg|alert|crit|err|warning|warn|notice|info|debug|dbg|vdbg|devel|cont|WARN)(?:_ratelimited|_once|)| @@ -3334,21 +3336,20 @@ sub process { } # check for global initialisers. - if ($line =~ /^\+$Type\s*$Ident(?:\s+$Modifier)*\s*=\s*(?:0|NULL|false)\s*;/) { + if ($line =~ /^\+$Type\s*$Ident(?:\s+$Modifier)*\s*=\s*($zero_initializer)\s*;/) { if (ERROR("GLOBAL_INITIALISERS", - "do not initialise globals to 0 or NULL\n" . - $herecurr) && + "do not initialise globals to $1\n" . $herecurr) && $fix) { - $fixed[$fixlinenr] =~ s/(^.$Type\s*$Ident(?:\s+$Modifier)*)\s*=\s*(0|NULL|false)\s*;/$1;/; + $fixed[$fixlinenr] =~ s/(^.$Type\s*$Ident(?:\s+$Modifier)*)\s*=\s*$zero_initializer\s*;/$1;/; } } # check for static initialisers. - if ($line =~ /^\+.*\bstatic\s.*=\s*(0|NULL|false)\s*;/) { + if ($line =~ /^\+.*\bstatic\s.*=\s*($zero_initializer)\s*;/) { if (ERROR("INITIALISED_STATIC", - "do not initialise statics to 0 or NULL\n" . + "do not initialise statics to $1\n" . $herecurr) && $fix) { - $fixed[$fixlinenr] =~ s/(\bstatic\s.*?)\s*=\s*(0|NULL|false)\s*;/$1;/; + $fixed[$fixlinenr] =~ s/(\bstatic\s.*?)\s*=\s*$zero_initializer\s*;/$1;/; } } -- 2.20.1
