[PATCH] update checkpatch.pl to version 0.12

From: Andy Whitcroft
Date: Tue Nov 13 2007 - 06:49:32 EST



This version brings a new terse output mode as well as many improvements to
the unary detection and bare type regcognition. It also brings the usual
updates for false positives, though these seem to be slowing markedly
now that the unary detector is no longer just putting its finger in the
air and guessing. Of note:

- new --terse mode producing a single line per report
- loosening of the block brace checks
- new checks for enum/union/struch brace placements
- hugely expanded "bare type" detection
- checks for inline usage
- better handling of already open comment blocks
- handle patches which introduce or remove lines without newlines

Andy Whitcroft (19):
Version: 0.12
style fixes as spotted by checkpatch
add a --terse options of a single line of output per report
block brace checks should only apply for single line blocks
all new bare type detector
check spacing for open braces with enum, union and struct
check for LINUX_VERSION_CODE
macros definition bracketing checks need to ignore -ve context
clean up the mail-back mode, -q et al
expand possible type matching to declarations
allow const and sparse annotations on possible types
handle possible types as regular types everywhere
prefer plain inline over __inline__ and __inline
all new open comment detection
fix up conditional extraction for if assignment checks
add const to the possible type matcher
unary checks: a for loop is a conditional too
possible types: detect function pointer definitions
handle missind newlines at end of file, report addition
