Are you using any dedicated tools for this purpose already?

I inspected also another specific source file for example.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/tools/testing/selftests/timers/posix_timers.c?id=aa1fbe633d3034f9f838ff13387af04771e68e31#n81
https://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/v4.14-rc8/source/tools/testing/selftests/timers/posix_timers.c#L78

This one contains some places (like in the function “check_itimer”)
where the error detection and corresponding exception handling is incomplete
so far.
Other source files can contain similar update candidates.

There are different design options available to improve the software
situation here.
Which development directions do you prefer?

Regards,
Markus
