Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch.pl: add union and struct to the exceptions list
Date: Wed, 06 Jan 2010 17:46:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1262796360.1011.9.camel@wall-e> (raw)

This patch add the struct and union keywords to the exceptions list of
the checkpatch.pl script, to prevent error message "Macros with multiple
statements should be enclosed in a do - while loop". Otherwise it is not
possible to build a struct or union with a macro.
