Skipping the '%p' is more complex than what the patch here is doing. Printing the NULL has also the advantage to have the same output format which is usefull when the output is analysed by scripts. > BTW, I understand you are reluctant to make trivial change to very > old series of branch. That make sense. Yes, "old series" is the keywords here: this series have been posted in March, 7 months ago, and have never received any feedback. > In that case, I can make a topic branch to track the feedback and fix up > as incremental change.

Well, given it has taken 7 months to have the first feedback, the usefulness of this feedback and given the 'speed' at wich you handle patches, pull requests or questions, I wonder how much months or years this will take (and this series is only the very first one, many others are waiing, albeit smaller ones, totalling about 230-400 patches). If it wasn't clear yet: nor the quality of your feedback, nor its 'speed' is of any use for doing development, on the contrary. -- Luc -- 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
