I dont think having just the ending paren will work though because the paren can be on the next line, so the pre-patch statement is most correct. What we should do, then, is something like: [snip] $line =~ /\bsscanf\b/ && - ($stat !~ /$Ident\s*=\s*sscanf\s*$balanced_parens/ && + ($stat =~ /\bsscanf\b\s*$balanced_parens/ && + $stat !~ /$Ident\s*=\s*sscanf\s*$balanced_parens/ && $stat !~ /\bsscanf\s*$balanced_parens\s*(?:$Compare)/ && $stat !~ /(?:$Compare)\s*\bsscanf\s*$balanced_parens/)) { [snip] That way, we know we are evaluating a sscanf on the current line, but also ensure that it is a function call in the current statement. Would this work? It seems to on my end. I can send over the amended patch. - Kevin -- 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
