Sorry, it was kind of an act of desperation to try and pass the strict check for parenthesis alignment. I originally wanted to do it like this: struct periodic_work *visor_periodic_work_create(ulong jiffy_interval, struct workqueue_struct *workqueue, void (*workfunc)(void*), void *workfuncarg, const char *devnam); But that generates the same parenthesis check message with --strict turned on. Trying to align everything with the parenthesis was very ugly, so I tried to save space by splitting the line at the return type. So should I just ignore the parenthesis warning for this one function? I'm kind of confused about this particular check to be honest. In Documentation/CodingStyle it says to never use spaces for indentation, but there's no way to pass this check without using spaces, or getting lucky and having things line up exactly on a tab. -- Ben _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
