Those extra spaces are there for a good reason, older versions of gcc
are broken without it.  So please, put them all back...

You mean I should add spaces before commas only where they were
initially or to all new code and/or macros? I've observed other kernel
code and more often there are no spaces before commas. I'm asking
because the CodingStyle document is not very explicit about this rule.


Thank you,
Emil.

My (hazy?) recollection of the gcc issue is that it is only the
comma before the ## that needs spaces around it.

I'm not even sure that we are still supporting that gcc version,
but you should just put the spaces back to be safe IMO.

Put it back where it was, and do the same for all other macros.

This is a gcc rule, for variable length macros, not a CodingStyle
guideline.  It just will not work without it :)

The space-before-a-comma requirement was for gcc-2.95, iirc.

It got to the stage where I was the only person testing with gcc-2.95 so I
spent inordinate amounts of time adding spaces before people's newly-added
commas.  Fortunately we abamdoned that gcc version so the space-before-a-comma
requirement no longer exists.

Hello Andrew,


Thanks for the detailed background.

By now I also submitted a patch with extra spaces. Which one would be a
better candidate for applying in a maintainer's tree (which tree?)?
Could you please pick up one of the versions? Should I resubmit the
first version without extra spaces?


Cheers,
Emil.
