Coccinelle: flag conditions with no effect

2016-10-11T07:57:17Z

Report code constructs where the if and else branch are functionally identical. In cases where this is intended it really should be documented - most reported cases probably are bugs. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

Coccinelle: noderef: Add new rules and correct the old rule

2016-06-20T15:20:13Z

Add new rules to detect the cases where sizeof is used in function calls as a argument. Also, for the patch mode third rule should behave same as second rule with arguments reversed. So, change that as well. Signed-off-by: Vaishali Thakkar Acked-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

scripts: coccinelle: remove check to move constants to right

2016-04-20T07:53:27Z

The header mentions this check depends on personal taste. I agree. Running coccicheck on patches before I apply them, this SmPL produced enough false positives for me that I'd rather see it removed. Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang Acked-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

coccinelle: bugon: reduce rule applicability

2016-02-18T21:09:40Z

Rule r is only use in org or report mode, so only execute it in those cases. Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

Coccinelle: array_size: reduce rule applicability

Rule r is only use in org or report mode, so only execute it in those cases. Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

coccinelle: Improve checking for missing NULL terminators

2015-10-26T21:44:51Z

Extend checking on tables containing structures which are initialized without specifying member name. Added new tables for checking: i2c_device_id and platform_device_id. Signed-off-by: Daniel Granat Acked-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

coccinelle: misc: remove "complex return code" warnings

2015-10-26T21:10:01Z

This effectively reverts 932058a5d5f9 ("coccinelle: misc: semantic patch to delete overly complex return code processing"). There can be both symmetry and readability reasons for not wanting to do the final function call as part of the return statement and to maintain a clear separation of success and error paths. Since this is in no way mandated by the coding standard, let's just remove this semantic patch to avoid having "clean up" patches being posted over and over in response to these Coccinelle warnings.

coccinelle: misc: move constants to the right

2015-10-26T19:39:44Z

Move constants to the right in binary operators. Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

coccinelle: simple_return: Add a blank line

2015-06-03T08:23:33Z

Insert a blank line in order to improve the readability of the generated patch and also make it consistent with the other .cocci files. Signed-off-by: Fabio Estevam Acked-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Michal Marek
