From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> The return value of the remove function of a driver structure, and thus of a platform_driver structure, is ultimately ignored, and is thus unnecessary. This patch removes the return value for the remove function stored in a platform_driver structure. For the files in this patch, the return values are always 0. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @r@ struct platform_driver I; identifier a,f; position p; @@ I.remove = \(f@p\|a(f@p)\); @void_called@ identifier r.f; position p; @@ f@p(...); @called@ identifier r.f; position p1 != void_called.p; @@ f@p1(...) @localfn@ identifier r.f; @@ static int f(...) { ... } @depends on !called && localfn@ struct platform_driver I; identifier a,f; position r.p; @@ I. - remove + remove_new = \(f@p\|a(f@p)\); @depends on !called && localfn@ identifier r.f,i; constant C; expression E; @@ - int + void f(...) { <...
