Did I overlook it? Hi Randy, You are correct. I did not find anything clear or obvious that calls out not ending the lines with a '(' symbol. I think the other guideline from the coding style is to align the overrunning argument list in the next lines such that they match the arg1 after '('. So, I think that may be the reason why checkpatch is coded to catch such lines. Regards, Deepak. > > Thanks.
