Subject: [PATCHv2] coccinelle: Add a script to find unnecessary ifs with no body
Date: Sat, 2 Nov 2013 08:15:01 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131102151500.GW15704@leaf> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.DEB.2.02.1311021550330.2261@hadrien>

This script finds code like this, with an unnecessary if:

if (foo) {}

Provides report mode only, since patching often eliminates conditionals
that contain TODO comments or similar.

Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>
---

v2: Drop patch mode.
