From 23f780c90496eb1cc158e862e7035c8468dfa052 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Wed, 3 Jul 2013 15:05:31 -0700 Subject: checkpatch: improve "no space after cast" test Some false positives exist on this test. For instance: *va_arg(args, signed char *) = val.s; or memset(foo, 0, sizeof(struct bar *) * baz)); Ignore lines that have an arithmetic operator or assignment after what appears to be a cast to a pointer "(foo *)". Add $Arithmetic convenience variable.
