From b132e5d5865325a9aa42b122c4c466903bf48348 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Whitcroft Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 22:02:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: macros which define structure members are not complex We often see macros which define structure members, these are not complex and necessarily do not have braces or brackets. For example: #define _PLIST_HEAD_INIT(head) \ .prio_list = LIST_HEAD_INIT((head).prio_list), \ .node_list = LIST_HEAD_INIT((head).node_list) Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- scripts/checkpatch.pl | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/scripts/checkpatch.pl b/scripts/checkpatch.pl index 19690a2ddb74..6eceda7a4bd9 100755 --- a/scripts/checkpatch.pl +++ b/scripts/checkpatch.pl @@ -2155,6 +2155,7 @@ sub process { if ($dstat ne '' && $dstat !~ /^(?:$Ident|-?$Constant)$/ && $dstat !~ /$exceptions/ && + $dstat !~ /^\.$Ident\s*=/ && $dstat =~ /$Operators/) { ERROR("Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parenthesis\n" .
