This patch series adds a new flag PARALLEL= to the coccicheck build target and documents the new feature. It works a lot like make's -j flag. I looked for a way to have make pass on the value of -j, but didn't find one - if anyone knows how to do that, I'd love to hear about it! I suppose an alternate approach would be to accomplish this via make itself, but the approach in this patch series seemed simpler to implement... Performance is quite a bit better than single threaded. On my 6 core box, the checks generally run around 3x faster. Feedback welcome!! :) Greg Greg Dietsche (3): coccinelle.txt: add overview section coccinelle.txt: add documentation of PARALLEL= flag coccicheck: add parallel execution Documentation/coccinelle.txt | 35 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ scripts/coccicheck | 27 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 61 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) -- 1.7.2.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
