First we have to talk everyone into checking their stuff with gcc. Ah, I forgot --- Real Submitters don't compile their code before submission. But wait, they also don't track CodingStyle. Seriously though: Precise rules are a priori welcome. But the more rules there are, the less of them we (authors, reviewers) can memorize. If we go for having many rules, then we need to rely more on checkpatch and sparse. When growing into a catch-all rule book, the utility of CodingStyle will shift from an author's guide to a specification for code checking tools. -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-=== -=== ==-== http://arcgraph.de/sr/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-sparse" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
