From: Andy Whitcroft <a...@canonical.com> checkpatch currently loops on fpu/softfloat.c Turns out this is fixed in the Linux version of checkpatch.
So this is a port of Andy Whitcrofts fix from Linux, Original commit was commit 89a883530fe7 ("checkpatch: ## is not a valid modifier") As suggested by Peter Maydell for the QEMU version we drop the last "|" as there seems to be no need for that. (FWIW, the kernel discusion about that dried out: http://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg1944421.html ) Cc: Andy Whitcroft <a...@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntrae...@de.ibm.com> --- scripts/checkpatch.pl | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/scripts/checkpatch.pl b/scripts/checkpatch.pl index b6d71ea..9755e82 100755 --- a/scripts/checkpatch.pl +++ b/scripts/checkpatch.pl @@ -1010,7 +1010,9 @@ sub possible { case| else| asm|__asm__| - do + do| + \#| + \#\# )(?:\s|$)| ^(?:typedef|struct|enum)\b )}x; -- 2.4.3
