From bd49111f7dd19a645ce85fb24a0ea52d82ca2e3c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2018 15:39:06 -0800 Subject: checkpatch: avoid some false positives for TABSTOP declaration test Using an open bracket after what seems to be a declaration can also be a function definition and declaration argument line continuation so remove the open bracket from the possible declaration/definition matching. e.g.: int foobar(int a; int *b[]); Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1515704479.9619.171.camel@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Reported-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- scripts/checkpatch.pl | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'scripts/checkpatch.pl') diff --git a/scripts/checkpatch.pl b/scripts/checkpatch.pl index 3a7499de2c2d..78e7a310af46 100755 --- a/scripts/checkpatch.pl +++ b/scripts/checkpatch.pl @@ -3020,7 +3020,7 @@ sub process { # check indentation starts on a tab stop if ($^V && $^V ge 5.10.0 && - $sline =~ /^\+\t+( +)(?:$c90_Keywords\b|\{\s*$|\}\s*(?:else\b|while\b|\s*$)|$Declare\s*$Ident\s*[;=\[])/) { + $sline =~ /^\+\t+( +)(?:$c90_Keywords\b|\{\s*$|\}\s*(?:else\b|while\b|\s*$)|$Declare\s*$Ident\s*[;=])/) { my $indent = length($1); if ($indent % 8) { if (WARN("TABSTOP", -- cgit v1.2.3-59-g8ed1b
