G'day people,
I have been playing around with the sparse code, and was thinking of
adding a few of the checks that my company uses from other code
checkers, starting with checking that macro arguments have brackets
around them. (Because this is the test my/other code most often fails)
I have put together a quick patch to see what everyone thinks of it. It
is obviously not a finished product but I wanted to see peoples
reactions to this type of thing.
I also have a few questions;
1) Do we want to add a Wdescription switch for each test sparse
performs ? or do we want to group tests under Wstyle Wefficiency
WCodingStandard type group switches ?
2) For the macro argument checking would it be better if I checked for
either a bracket or low precedence operator on both sides of the
argument ? like either a comma or a type of assignment operator? it
would not be a foolproof check then but would seem more sensible to me,
and might be more acceptable to users.
Anyway here is the patch
