From ba9d2172b831fb0cbe5c0afa882bc9f21d7dc297 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2012 12:15:08 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: improve network block comment style checking Some comment styles in net and drivers/net are flagged inappropriately. Avoid proclaiming inline comments like: int a = b; /* some comment */ and block comments like: /********************* * some comment ********************/ are defective. Tested with $ cat drivers/net/t.c /* foo */ /* * foo */ /* foo */ /* foo * bar */ /**************************** * some long block comment ***************************/ struct foo { int bar; /* another test */ }; $ Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Reported-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton --- scripts/checkpatch.pl | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/checkpatch.pl b/scripts/checkpatch.pl index 21a9f5de0a21..f18750e3bd6c 100755 --- a/scripts/checkpatch.pl +++ b/scripts/checkpatch.pl @@ -1890,8 +1890,10 @@ sub process { } if ($realfile =~ m@^(drivers/net/|net/)@ && - $rawline !~ m@^\+[ \t]*(\/\*|\*\/)@ && - $rawline =~ m@^\+[ \t]*.+\*\/[ \t]*$@) { + $rawline !~ m@^\+[ \t]*\*/[ \t]*$@ && #trailing */ + $rawline !~ m@^\+.*/\*.*\*/[ \t]*$@ && #inline /*...*/ + $rawline !~ m@^\+.*\*{2,}/[ \t]*$@ && #trailing **/ + $rawline =~ m@^\+[ \t]*.+\*\/[ \t]*$@) { #non blank */ WARN("NETWORKING_BLOCK_COMMENT_STYLE", "networking block comments put the trailing */ on a separate line\n" . $herecurr); } -- 2.39.5
