Subject: [PATCH 02/11] checkpatch: check for common memset parameter issues against statments
Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2011 15:42:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1322494973-29225-3-git-send-email-apw@canonical.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1322494973-29225-1-git-send-email-apw@canonical.com>

Move the memset checks over to work against the statement.  Also add
checks for 0 and 1 used as lengths.  Generally these indicate badly
ordered parameters.
