Perhaps there's utility in a (cocci?) script that looks for used-once macro #defines in various types of macros. ___ Cocci mailing list Cocci@systeme.lip6.fr https://systeme.lip6.fr/mailman/listinfo/cocci

What about module_version, eg: diff -u -p a/drivers/ata/pata_pdc202xx_old.c b/drivers/ata/pata_pdc202xx_old.c --- a/drivers/ata/pata_pdc202xx_old.c +++ b/drivers/ata/pata_pdc202xx_old.c @@ -21,7 +21,6 @@ #include #define DRV_NAME "pata_pdc202xx_old" -#define DRV_VERSION "0.4.3" static int pdc2026x_cable_detect(struct ata_port *ap) { @@ -389,4 +388,4 @@ MODULE_AUTHOR("Alan Cox"); MODULE_DESCRIPTION("low-level driver for Promise 2024x and 20262-20267"); MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(pci, pdc202xx); -MODULE_VERSION(DRV_VERSION); +MODULE_VERSION("0.4.3"); julia ___ Cocci mailing list Cocci@systeme.lip6.fr https://systeme.lip6.fr/mailman/listinfo/cocci

Agreed, I did that for a bunch of USB drivers, need to do it for others as well. thanks, greg k-h ___ Cocci mailing list Cocci@systeme.lip6.fr https://systeme.lip6.fr/mailman/listinfo/cocci
