Too many make it impossible to see which close paren ties up with which open paren. I've spent way too long in the past reformatting code, where people think that () are a good thing, to work out what the comparison is actually doing before then rewriting the damn thing with less () and in a much clearer way. I'm now convinced that unnecessary () are a very bad thing as they severely harm readability as test complexity increases. > > > > break; > > } > > > > /* Special handling for SPI GPIOs if used */ > > - if (IS_ERR(desc)) > > + if (IS_ERR(desc) && PTR_ERR(desc) == -ENOENT) These can be simplified to: if (desc == ERR_PTR(-ENOENT)) since error pointers are unique - ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) is what was returned as an error-pointer, and if IS_ERR(ERR_PTR(-ENOMENT)) etc were false, we'd have big problems as it'd mean we couldn't detect error pointers! As an added bonus, they don't involve any operator precedence questions either. -- RMK's Patch system: http://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line in suburbia: sync at 8.8Mbps down 630kbps up According to speedtest.net: 8.21Mbps down 510kbps up -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
