Subject: [patch v2] checkpatch: complain about GW-BASIC style label names
Date: Wed, 13 May 2015 15:37:12 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150513123712.GA2798@mwanda> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1431029858.18597.35.camel@perches.com>
GW-BASIC style label names are annoying so we can warn about that in
checkpatch. The warnings look like:
WARNING: 'fail2' isn't informative - prefer descriptive label names
#267: FILE: ./sound/ppc/beep.c:267:
+ fail2: snd_ctl_remove(chip->card, beep_ctl);
This generates slightly under 2000 new warnings. None of them are
false positives.
