I think you mean "never returns negative" ? -ENOPATCH ... although if that's the case, I'd think that the *snprintf() signatures are incorrect: they should return "unsigned" not "int". If that were done, I think even GCC could be made to report such issues; one wouldn't need less-common tools like coccinelle. (What I've seen of coccinelle makes me glad it's being applied to the kernel sources, by the way.) - Dave -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
