That's not in CodingStyle currently. Right now, checkpatch emits a --strict only warning on "&&" or "||" at the beginning of line but that could be changed to any "$Operators" our $Arithmetic = qr{\+|-|\*|\/|%}; our $Operators = qr{ <=|>=|==|!=| =>|->|<<|>>|<|>|!|~| &&|\|\||,|\^|\+\+|--|&|\||$Arithmetic }x; The ones that likely have a too high false positive rates are the negation "!" and bitwise "~". Also, using perl, it's hard to distinguish between a logical "&" and the address-of "&" as well as the multiplication "*" and indirection "*" so maybe those should be excluded too. And I think it should only be added as a --strict test. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
