I don't think this compiles. GCC doesn't let you end a switch block
with a label.

I also have sent the selinux people a patch that didn't compile by
mistake. Afterward I wrote this script so hopefully I won't mess up
again.

#!/bin/bash -e

files=$(grep +++ /home/dcarpenter/var/mail/postponed-msgs | cut -f 1 |
cut -b 5-)
for file in $files ; do
file=${file/devel\//}
file=${file/new\//}
kchecker $file
if which sparse | grep -q sparse ; then
kchecker --sparse $file
fi
done


You will have to change the path names. Hm.... Also you will have to
get the kchecker script from the smatch_data/ directory of smatch
(http://repo.or.cz/w/smatch.git).
