Drop newline at the end of a message string when the printing function adds a newline. The complete semantic patch that detects this issue is as shown below (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/). It works in two phases - the first phase counts how many uses of a function involve a newline and how many don't, and then the second phase removes newlines in the case of calls where a newline is used one fourth of the times or less. This approach is only moderately reliable, and all patches have been checked to ensure that the newline is not needed. This also converts some cases of string concatenation to single strings in modified code, as this improves greppability. // <smpl> virtual after_start @initialize:ocaml@ @@ let withnl = Hashtbl.create 101 let withoutnl = Hashtbl.create 101 let ignore = ["strcpy";"strlcpy";"strcat";"strlcat";"strcmp";"strncmp";"strcspn"; "strsep";"sprintf";"printf";"strncasecmp";"seq_printf";"strstr";"strspn"; "strlen";"strpbrk";"strtok_r";"memcmp";"memcpy"] let dignore = ["tools";"samples"] let inc tbl k = let cell = try Hashtbl.find tbl k with Not_found -> let cell = ref 0 in Hashtbl.add tbl k cell; cell in cell := 1 + !cell let endnl c = let len = String.length c in try String.get c (len-3) = '\\' && String.get c (len-2) = 'n' && String.get c (len-1) = '"' with _ -> false let clean_string s extra = let pieces = Str.split (Str.regexp "\" \"") s in let nonempty s = not (s = "") && String.get s 0 = '"' && not (String.get s 1 = '"') in let rec loop = function [] -> [] | [x] -> [x] | x::y::rest -> if nonempty x && nonempty y then let xend = String.get x (String.length x - 2) = ' ' in let yend = String.get y 1 = ' ' in match (xend,yend) with (true,false) | (false,true) -> x :: (loop (y::rest)) | (true,true) -> x :: (loop (((String.sub y 0 (String.length y - 2))^"\"")::rest)) | (false,false) -> ((String.sub x 0 (String.length x - 1)) ^ " \"") :: (loop (y::rest)) else x :: (loop (y::rest)) in (String.concat "" (loop pieces))^extra @r depends on !after_start@ constant char[] c; expression list[n] es; identifier f; position p; @@ f at p(es,c,...) @script:ocaml@ f << r.f; n << r.n; p << r.p; c << r.c; @@ let pieces = Str.split (Str.regexp "/") (List.hd p).file in if not (List.mem f ignore) && List.for_all (fun x -> not (List.mem x pieces)) dignore then (if endnl c then inc withnl (f,n) else inc withoutnl (f,n)) @finalize:ocaml depends on !after_start@ w1 << merge.withnl; w2 << merge.withoutnl; @@ let names = ref [] in let incn tbl k v = let cell = try Hashtbl.find tbl k with Not_found -> begin let cell = ref 0 in Hashtbl.add tbl k cell; cell end in (if not (List.mem k !names) then names := k :: !names); cell := !v + !cell in List.iter (function w -> Hashtbl.iter (incn withnl) w) w1; List.iter (function w -> Hashtbl.iter (incn withoutnl) w) w2; List.iter (function name -> let wth = try !(Hashtbl.find withnl name) with _ -> 0 in let wo = try !(Hashtbl.find withoutnl name) with _ -> 0 in if wth > 0 && wth <= wo / 3 then Hashtbl.remove withnl name else (Printf.eprintf "dropping %s %d %d\n" (fst name) wth wo; Hashtbl.remove withoutnl name; Hashtbl.remove withnl name)) !names; let it = new iteration() in it#add_virtual_rule After_start; it#register() @s1 depends on after_start@ constant char[] c; expression list[n] es; identifier f; position p; @@ f(es,c at p,...) @script:ocaml s2@ f << s1.f; n << s1.n; c << s1.c; newc; @@ try let _ = Hashtbl.find withnl (f,n) in if endnl c then Coccilib.include_match false else newc := make_expr(clean_string (String.sub c 0 (String.length c - 1)) "\\n\"") with Not_found -> try let _ = Hashtbl.find withoutnl (f,n) in if endnl c then newc := make_expr(clean_string (String.sub c 0 (String.length c - 3)) "\"") else Coccilib.include_match false with Not_found -> Coccilib.include_match false @@ constant char[] s1.c; position s1.p; expression s2.newc; @@ - c at p + newc // </smpl> --- arch/arm/mach-davinci/board-da850-evm.c | 4 ++-- drivers/block/DAC960.c | 4 ++-- drivers/gpu/drm/amd/powerplay/hwmgr/smu7_hwmgr.c | 12 ++++++++---- drivers/gpu/drm/amd/powerplay/smumgr/fiji_smumgr.c | 2 +- drivers/gpu/drm/amd/powerplay/smumgr/iceland_smumgr.c | 2 +- drivers/gpu/drm/amd/powerplay/smumgr/polaris10_smumgr.c | 2 +- drivers/gpu/drm/amd/powerplay/smumgr/tonga_smumgr.c | 2 +- drivers/media/usb/pvrusb2/pvrusb2-hdw.c | 3 ++- drivers/s390/block/dasd_diag.c | 3 +-- drivers/scsi/hpsa.c | 2 +- fs/dlm/plock.c | 3 +-- fs/ext2/super.c | 2 +- fs/hpfs/dnode.c | 3 ++- net/dccp/ackvec.c | 2 +- net/openvswitch/conntrack.c | 4 ++-- tools/perf/tests/dso-data.c | 9 +++++---- 16 files changed, 32 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-)
