From: Aditya Srivastava <yashsri421@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: checkpatch: add fix option for LOGICAL_CONTINUATIONS Currently, checkpatch warns if logical continuations are placed at the start of a line and not at the end of previous line. E.g., running checkpatch on commit 3485507fc272 ("staging: bcm2835-camera: Reduce length of enum names") reports: CHECK:LOGICAL_CONTINUATIONS: Logical continuations should be on the previous line + if (!ret + && camera_port == Provide a simple fix by inserting logical operator at the last non-comment, non-whitespace char of the previous line and removing from current line, if both the lines are additions(ie start with '+') Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201123102818.24364-1-yashsri421@xxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Aditya Srivastava <yashsri421@xxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Lukas Bulwahn <lukas.bulwahn@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- scripts/checkpatch.pl | 12 ++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) --- a/scripts/checkpatch.pl~checkpatch-add-fix-option-for-logical_continuations +++ a/scripts/checkpatch.pl @@ -3545,8 +3545,16 @@ sub process { # check for && or || at the start of a line if ($rawline =~ /^\+\s*(&&|\|\|)/) { - CHK("LOGICAL_CONTINUATIONS", - "Logical continuations should be on the previous line\n" . $hereprev); + my $operator = $1; + if (CHK("LOGICAL_CONTINUATIONS", + "Logical continuations should be on the previous line\n" . $hereprev) && + $fix && $prevrawline =~ /^\+/) { + # insert logical operator at last non-comment, non-whitepsace char on previous line + $prevline =~ /[\s$;]*$/; + my $line_end = substr($prevrawline, $-[0]); + $fixed[$fixlinenr - 1] =~ s/\Q$line_end\E$/ $operator$line_end/; + $fixed[$fixlinenr] =~ s/\Q$operator\E\s*//; + } } # check indentation starts on a tab stop _
