Subject: kernel style preference trivia: '* const' vs '*const' ?
Date: Sun, 09 Oct 2022 09:21:39 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9ff662d738612f0ed2cea39266768a2eff21edc3.camel@perches.com> (raw)
The kernel uses '* const' about 10:1 over '*const'
coding_style and checkpatch don't care one way or another.
Does anyone care if there should be some kernel style preference?
$ git grep -P -oh '\b(?:char|u8)\s*\*\s*const\b' -- '*.[ch]' | \
sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
12450 char * const
1357 char *const
41 u8 * const
17 char* const
9 u8 *const
5 char *const
2 char * const
2 char *const
1 char * const
1 char *const
1 char * const
