i've got a one-line perl command that runs through include/linux and standardizes all of the "#endif" directives for "__KERNEL__" into a single variant
#endif /* __KERNEL__ */ where all of the whitespace bits above are a single space and nothing more. while this is clearly just aesthetic and involves only whitespace transformation, it was handy when i was messing around with what happened during "make headers_install" as i was trying to match the opening and closing __KERNEL__ directives, and i had to accommodate that some of those #endif directives had a space, and others a tab, or multiple spaces, or multiple tabs, etc. grrrrrrrrrr. is it worth submitting this kind of whitespace-related patch? obviously, it can be done for the entire tree (perhaps in a multi-part patch) or just include/linux where i was using it. if that goes in, a follow-up patch would add any missing __KERNEL__ comments to the corresponding #endif directives so that, visually, it would be far easier to see the nesting. thoughts? or a waste of time? rday p.s. there is the occasional #endif // __KERNEL__ directive as well, but that's obviously just as easy to handle. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
