Subject: latest checkpatch
latest checkpatch.pl works really well on sched.c.
there's only one problem left, this bogus false positive warning
reappeared:
WARNING: braces {} are not necessary for single statement blocks
#5710: FILE: sched.c:5710:
+ if (parent->groups == parent->groups->next) {
+ pflags &= ~(SD_LOAD_BALANCE |
+ SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE |
+ SD_BALANCE_FORK |
+ SD_BALANCE_EXEC |
+ SD_SHARE_CPUPOWER |
+ SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES);
+ }
(there's another place in sched.c that trips this up too.)
i think it has been pointed out numerous times that it is perfectly fine
to use curly braces for multi-line single-statement blocks. That
includes simple cases like this too:
if (x) {
/* do y() */
y();
}
it's perfectly legitimate, in fact more robust. So if checkpatch.pl
wants to make any noise about such constructs it should warn about the
_lack_ of curly braces in every multi-line condition block _except_ the
only safe single-line statement:
if (x)
y();
thanks,
Ingo
