These patches fix cases where there are two adjacent assignments to the same location. In practice, many such occurrences appear to be intentional, eg to initialize volatile memory, but these cases do not seem to fall into that category. The complete semantic match that finds these problems is as follows: // <smpl> @r@ expression i,f; position p1,p2; @@ ( i = <+...f(...)...+>; | i |= <+...f(...)...+>; | i &= <+...f(...)...+>; | i += <+...f(...)...+>; | i -= <+...f(...)...+>; | i *= <+...f(...)...+>; | i /= <+...f(...)...+>; | i %= <+...f(...)...+>; | i ^= <+...f(...)...+>; | i <<= <+...f(...)...+>; | i >>= <+...f(...)...+>; | i@p1 = ...; | i@p1 |= ...; | i@p1 &= ...; | i@p1 += ...; | i@p1 -= ...; | i@p1 *= ...; | i@p1 /= ...; | i@p1 %= ...; | i@p1 ^= ...; | i@p1 <<= ...; | i@p1 >>= ...; | i@p1 ++; | ++i@p1; | i@p1 --; | --i@p1; ) ( i = <+...i...+>; | i = <+...f(...)...+>; | i@p2 = ...; ) @@ expression i,j,f; position r.p1,r.p2; @@ ( (<+...i@p1...+>); ) ( (<+...\(j++\|++j\|j--\|--j\|f(...)\)...+>) = ...; | *i@p2 = ...; ) // </smpl> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
