From 507e51418ca0c98640310aa02450720825b2b6b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:10:13 -0800 Subject: checkpatch: improve "return is not a function" test Find a few more cases where parentheses are used around the value of a return statement. This now uses the "$balanced_parens" test and also makes the test depend on perl v5.10 and higher. This now finds return with parenthesis uses the old code did not find like: ERROR: return is not a function, parentheses are not required #211: FILE: arch/m68k/include/asm/sun3xflop.h:211: + return ((error == 0) ? 0 : -1); Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Tested-by: David Cohen Acked-by: David Cohen Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- scripts/checkpatch.pl | 18 ++++-------------- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) (limited to 'scripts') diff --git a/scripts/checkpatch.pl b/scripts/checkpatch.pl index ec9bbf863d5..6e0f1ec0d6f 100755 --- a/scripts/checkpatch.pl +++ b/scripts/checkpatch.pl @@ -3233,21 +3233,10 @@ sub process { } # Return is not a function. - if (defined($stat) && $stat =~ /^.\s*return(\s*)(\(.*);/s) { + if (defined($stat) && $stat =~ /^.\s*return(\s*)\(/s) { my $spacing = $1; - my $value = $2; - - # Flatten any parentheses - $value =~ s/\(/ \(/g; - $value =~ s/\)/\) /g; - while ($value =~ s/\[[^\[\]]*\]/1/ || - $value !~ /(?:$Ident|-?$Constant)\s* - $Compare\s* - (?:$Ident|-?$Constant)/x && - $value =~ s/\([^\(\)]*\)/1/) { - } -#print "value<$value>\n"; - if ($value =~ /^\s*(?:$Ident|-?$Constant)\s*$/) { + if ($^V && $^V ge 5.10.0 && + $stat =~ /^.\s*return\s*$balanced_parens\s*;\s*$/) { ERROR("RETURN_PARENTHESES", "return is not a function, parentheses are not required\n" . $herecurr); @@ -3256,6 +3245,7 @@ sub process { "space required before the open parenthesis '('\n" . $herecurr); } } + # Return of what appears to be an errno should normally be -'ve if ($line =~ /^.\s*return\s*(E[A-Z]*)\s*;/) { my $name = $1; -- cgit v1.2.3
