Subject: checkpatch.pl bug for EXPORT_SYMBOL when struct initialization follows define
Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2022 18:10:38 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Yrt8XgMe+mMIlHxM@spruce> (raw)
I believe I've found a bug in checkpatch.pl where an EXPORT_SYMBOL for
an initialized struct following a simple #define without an intervening
blank line falsely reports that EXPORT_SYMBOL doesn't follow the symbol
definition. Here's an example:
#define SOMETHING_ELSE 1
struct blah foo = {
.a = 1
};
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
You can see from the debug print that the full statement has not been
identified.
FOO A<+EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);> stat<+ .a = 1
};> name<foo>
Unfortunately my perl skills were not sufficient to find a fix.
Thanks,
Joe
