Hello, I filed a pull request that introduces an idea of controlling the behaviour of nxstyle from inside the file under test. https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/pull/569 This would allow to address some special requirements that are needed in cornercases (e.g. whitelisting), and, by using the ignore feature, to switch of testing for ranges of the file that are correct but nxstyle isn't happy about it (yet unaddressed cornercases). This would give a contributor/commiter the possibility to explicitly pass the PR through the style check, and perhaps file an nxstyle issue. >From time to time we could grep for the ignore command and remove it if the >issue had been resolved. Please share your thoughts. Johannes
P.S.: if some aren't happy with the xml-like syntax, we can change this for sure
