I don't specify any options. I do use the sparse compiled from latest
git tree.

        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/chrisl/sparse.git

And changed its code to output "sparse:" rather than "error:"/"warning:"
so that they can be distinguished from the gcc error/warnings.

Appreciated!

I run a special service for this. If you push a patch to your git tree
containing the line

        Reported-by: Fengguang Wu <wfg@...ux.intel.com>

And not containing any "Tested-by:" line, my script will automatically
test it and send a success/failure notification back to you, normally
within one hour.

Thanks,
Fengguang
