[Qemu-devel] This patch hunk will hang scripts/checkpatch.pl...

[Peter Maydell]

The following patch file (a cut down lump of an actual change
I was making) seems to cause scripts/checkpatch.pl to hang.
I find that script too opaque to try to debug, but I post the
offending input here in case anybody else wishes to investigate.

That's entertaining; observations:
   1) The kernel's checkpatch doesn't hang on it (latest 3.19-rc6)
   2) Ours hangs in the annotate_values function, repeatedly going
around:
main::annotate_values(scripts/checkpatch.pl:859):
859:                    @av_paren_type = ('E') if ($#av_paren_type < 0);
  DB<2> 
main::annotate_values(scripts/checkpatch.pl:860):
860:                    print " <" . join('', @av_paren_type) .
861:                                    "> <$type> <$av_pending>" if ($dbg_values > 1);
  DB<2> 
main::annotate_values(scripts/checkpatch.pl:862):
862:                    if ($cur =~ /^(\s+)/o) {
  DB<2> 
main::annotate_values(scripts/checkpatch.pl:879):
879:                            print "MODIFIER($1)\n" if ($dbg_values > 1);
  DB<2> 
main::annotate_values(scripts/checkpatch.pl:880):
880:                            $type = 'T';
  DB<2> 
main::annotate_values(scripts/checkpatch.pl:1040):
1040:                   if (defined $1) {
  DB<2> 
main::annotate_values(scripts/checkpatch.pl:1041):
1041:                           $cur = substr($cur, length($1));
  DB<2> 
main::annotate_values(scripts/checkpatch.pl:1042):
1042:                           $res .= $type x length($1);

$1=
$cur=float ## s ## _compare_quiet(float ## s a, float ## s b,                 \
$type=T
$res=ETTTT

    3) our annotate_values function is the same as the kernels except
       for one char difference in the 'cast' part, which doesn't fix it.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] checkpatch: port fix from kernel "## is not a valid modifier"

[Christian Borntraeger]

From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com>

checkpatch currently loops on fpu/softfloat.c
Turns out this is fixed in the Linux version of checkpatch.

So this is a port of Andy Whitcrofts fix from Linux,
Original commit was commit 89a883530fe7 ("checkpatch: ## is not a
valid modifier")

I think you need to send it as a toplevel patch for Peter to pick it up.

What do you mean? This patch is on top of qemu/master - if I dont messed up.
