Subject: checkpatch bailing out
Date: Sat, 2 Mar 2013 13:02:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5131EA60.40607@broadcom.com> (raw)

With my laptop being broken I have to work on a server provided by my 
employer and I am preparing some patches for submission. So I intended 
to run checkpatch, but I get the following message after which the 
script bails out:

$ git format-patch -1 --stdout | scripts/checkpatch.pl -
Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/(\((?:[^\(\)]++ <-- 
HERE |(?-1))*\))/ at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 347.

The server runs RHEL5

2.6.18-308.20.1.el5 #1 SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux

Perl interpreter:

$ /usr/bin/perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

My repository is based on wireless-testing repo.

Did a quick search on LKML, but not finding anything like this. Any help 
would be appreciated here.

Gr. AvS
