The third test of t/codingstd/c_parens.t (parentheses should not have space immediately after the opening parenthesis nor immediately before the closing parenthesis) is picking up false negatives (meaning it's failing files which should be passing). The problem occurs because C strings are removed from the text to be tested before being checked for spaces before a parenthesis. This causes code such as: fprintf(stderr, "This is an error\n"); to get converted to: fprintf(stderr, ); which consequently fails the test. Fixing this problem would be great. Paul
