[PATCH] checkpatch.pl: recognize the #elif preprocessor directive

From: Benny Halevy
Date: Tue Jan 01 2008 - 05:12:50 EST


checkpatch.pl does not recognize #elif as a preprocessor directive
causing it to print bogus errors for, e.g.:
ERROR: need consistent spacing around '&' (ctx:WxV)
when the operator is not recognized as unary in this context.

for example:

void foo(void)
{
int x, y, z;
void *p[1] = {
#if defined(X)
&x
#elif defined(Y)
&y
#else
&z
#endif
};
}
