Sorry :( $ git diff --help | grep -w -A2 "\-w" -w, --ignore-all-space Ignore whitespace when comparing lines. This ignores differences even if one line has whitespace where the other line has none. It makes sure you are doing only whitespace changes. Any other changes show up as an actual diff. You can also compile the changes and make sure the .o files before and after don't change. (Something like: assuming a clean tree) $ cat compare_patch_obj_diffs.sh #!/bin/bash if [[ ! -e $1 || ! -f $1 ]] then echo "$1 not found" exit $? fi grep -P "^\+\+\+" $1 | while read file do real_file=$(echo $file | cut -f2- -d'/') if [[ ${real_file:(-2)} == ".c" ]] then obj=${real_file%.c}.o make $obj mv $obj $obj.old patch -p1 < $1 make $obj mv $obj $obj.new patch -p1 -R < $1 size $obj.old $obj.new if [[ $2 == "y" ]] then objdump -d $obj.old > $obj.old.dmp objdump -d $obj.new > $obj.new.dmp diff $obj.old.dmp $obj.new.dmp rm -f $obj.old.dmp $obj.new.dmp fi fi done _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
