[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 RFC] scripts/checkpatch.pl: add check for `while` and `for`

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 RFC] scripts/checkpatch.pl: add check for `while` and `for`

[Su Hang]

Add check for `while` and `for` statements, which condition has more than
one line.

The former checkpatch.pl can check `if` statement, which condition has more
than one line, whether block misses brace round, like this:
'''
if (cond1 ||
    cond2)
    statement;
'''
But it doesn't do the same check for `for` and `while` statements.

Please fix the pre-existing typo in the comment:

s/round/around/

Please use (?:...) like most other cases in checkpatch.pl.  Perl
automatically assigns groups to $1, $2, etc with (...).  Using (?:...)
is preferred since it's faster and free of this side-effect.

That's not really a typo IMHO -- both 'round' and 'around'
seem fine to me here. (The OED entry for 'around' notes
"There is variation with 'round' adv. and prep. in many of the
senses below; in general 'around' is less usual in British usage",
so some of this is US-vs-UK usage or personal idiolect.)

thanks

Thanks!  I hear British people use it frequently but thought it was a
colloquialism that isn't used in written form, innit? :)  I stand
corrected.
