So if you really like it that much: grep -rPl --include=*.[ch] -w "__attribute__" * | grep -v "^tools" | grep -v "^scripts" | grep -v "include/linux/compiler-gcc.h" | xargs perl -n -i -e 'local $/; while (<>) { s/\b__attribute__\s*\(\s*\(\s*format\s*\(\s*printf\s*,\s*(.+)\s*,\s*(.+)\s*\)\s*\)\s*\)/__printf($1, $2)/g ; print; }' Then they're all the same. cheers, Joe -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
