This version brings a number of new checks, and a number of bug
fixes. Of note:
- better categorisation and space checks for dual use unary/binary
operators
- warn on deprecated use of {SPIN,RW}_LOCK_UNLOCKED
- check if/for/while with trailing ';' for hanging statements
- detect DOS line endings
- detect redundant casts for kalloc()
Andy Whitcroft (18):
Version: 0.10
asmlinkage is also a storage type
pull out inline specifiers
allow only some operators before a unary operator
parenthesised values may span line ends
add additional attribute matching
handle sparse annotations within pointer type space checks
support alternative function definition syntax for typedefs
check if/for/while with trailing ';' for hanging statements
fix output format for case checks
deprecate SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED and RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED
allow complex macros with bracketing braces
detect and report DOS line endings
fastcall is a valid function attribute
bracket spacing is ok for 'for'
categorise operators into unary/binary/definitions
add heuristic to pick up on unannotated types
remove spurious warnings from cat_vet
Dave Jones (1):
Make checkpatch warn about pointless casting of kalloc returns.
