[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



commit 1a47005dd5aa ("checkpatch: add *_NOTIFIER_HEAD as var
definition") causes the following warning when run on some
patches:

Unescaped left brace in regex is passed through in regex;
marked by < --HERE in m/(?:
...
   [238 lines of appalling perl output, mercifully not included]
...
)/ at ./scripts/checkpatch.pl line 3889.

This is broken, so revert it until a better solution is found.

Fixes: 1a47005dd5aa ("checkpatch: add *_NOTIFIER_HEAD as var
definition")
