Do you know of anything better? I guess it's feasible to build
something that's actually good at this job using tree-sitter or
something, maybe it exists. But outside of projects that just enforce
clang-format or whatever, checkpatch.pl is still the best (or perhaps
least bad) thing I've personally experienced.

I won't deny that most error types have only ever presented themselves
to me as noise. But the basic "don't do braces like that" and "you
have a stray space here" stuff has been useful.
