2012-12-17checkpatch: find hex constants as a single IDENTJoe Perches1-1/+1
Hexadecimal values are current found in 2 parts. A hex constant like 0x123456abcdef is found as 0 and then x123456abcdef and later coalesced. Instead, reverse the order of the 2 searches in $Constant to find 0x first, then 0 so that the entire hex constant is found all at once.

2012-01-10checkpatch: optimise statement scanner when mid-statementAndy Whitcroft1-2/+20
In the middle of a long definition or similar, there is no possibility of finding a smaller sub-statement. Optimise this case by skipping statement aquirey where there are no starts of statement (open brace '{' or semi-colon ';'). We are likely to scan slightly more than needed still but this is safest.

2012-01-10checkpatch: ## is not a valid modifierAndy Whitcroft1-1/+3
Inserting a # into the modifiers list will incorrectly add the null string to the modifiers list, leading to an infinite loop. As neither of these is a valid modifier form simply ignore them.
