Coccinelle found it. In contrast to parsers like sparse, it had to be programmed to do so. If you want to repeat that process, you have to get coccinelle and the script. Both can be found quickly without having them both in the SCM. > I want more information in changelog messages, not less.

If the changelog carries a lot of unimportant or even unrelated information, then only a careful structure of the text can prevent that the important information is buried in noise, and thus lost. (Julia's logs are structured respectively, so this is OK.) -- Stefan Richter -=====-==-=- ---= -==== http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
