From 66e9d20ee0cafcdfd4f1429071965d7a23145c1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heinrich Schuchardt Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 16:34:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: allow space in more places before a bracket Allow a space between a colon and subsequent opening bracket. This sequence may occur in inline assembler statements like asm( "ldr %[out], [%[in]]\n\t" : [out] "=r" (ret) : [in] "r" (addr) ); Allow a space between a comma and subsequent opening bracket. This sequence may occur in designated initializers. To ease backporting the patch, I am also changing the comma-bracket detection (added in QEMU by commit 409db6eb7199af7a2f09f746bd1b793e9daefe5f) to use the same regex as brackets and colons (as done independently by Linux commit daebc534ac15f991961a5bb433e515988220e9bf).
