Subject: [PATCH 1/1] checkpatch: Ignore <inttypes.h> format macros
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 14:12:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511121237.11030-1-pvorel@suse.cz> (raw)
Constants from <inttypes.h> are used only in userspace tools, they are
from ISO C99, let's don't report it:
arch/mips/boot/tools/relocs.c:572: CHECK: Avoid CamelCase: <PRIx32>
arch/s390/tools/relocs.c:52: CHECK: Avoid CamelCase: <PRIu64>
tools/testing/selftests/mm/vm_util.c:244: CHECK: Avoid CamelCase: <SCNu64>
