Subject: [patch v2] checkpatch: complain about GW-BASIC style label names
Date: Wed, 13 May 2015 15:37:12 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150513123712.GA2798@mwanda> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1431029858.18597.35.camel@perches.com>

GW-BASIC style label names are annoying so we can warn about that in
checkpatch.  The warnings look like:

	WARNING: 'fail2' isn't informative - prefer descriptive label names
	#267: FILE: ./sound/ppc/beep.c:267:
	+ fail2:        snd_ctl_remove(chip->card, beep_ctl);

This generates slightly under 2000 new warnings.  None of them are
false positives.

v2: I don't want to warn about gotos...
