[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] checkpatch.pl: add common glib defines to typelist

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] checkpatch.pl: add common glib defines to typelist

[Peter Xu]

Otherwise it can warn this:

  ERROR: space prohibited between function name and open parenthesis '('

When with things like this:

  typedef gboolean (*it_tree_iterator)(ITValue start, ITValue end);

Personally, I'd kill these with fire, then salt the fields that bore
them.

But as long as we have them in our code, checkpatch needs to cope.
Let's list all types documented in
<https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Basic-Types.html>.
Missing:

    gint8
    guint8
    gint16
    guint16
    gint32
    guint32
    gint64
    guint64
    gsize
    gssize
    goffset
    gintptr
    guintptr

I got the old list from the header file (glib/gtypes.h) directly, so I
should go for the document next time!  It's strange that I can hardly
find where is, e.g. gint8, defined.  Anyway, I'm posting a new one.

Thanks!
