[PATCH V3 0/2] author field in module! macro should be a array
From: Guilherme Giacomo Simoes
Date: Thu Feb 20 2025 - 11:22:52 EST
In the module! macro, the author field is currently of type String.
Since modules can have multiple authors, this limitation prevents
specifying more than one.
- Change the author field to Option<Vec<String>> to allow creating
modules with multiple authors.
- rename the field from author to authors to make it explicit that it
can refer to multiple authors.
- In modules that use the author field, update its value to an array of
strings, and also rename it from author to authors.
- Change the checkpatch.pl to find poorly formatted arrays in the macro
module!
