Prev: 2.6.34-rc6-git6: Reported regressions from 2.6.33
Next: [PATCH 1/4] Add targets to use the Coccinelle checker
From: Nicolas Palix on 10 May 2010 12:30
New targets are added (coccicheck-<mode>) to call the 'coccinelle.sh' front-end
in the 'scripts' directory with the <mode> argument.

Four modes are defined: report, patch, context, and org.

'report' mode generates a list in the following format:
file:line:column-column: message

'patch' mode proposes a generic fix, when possible.

'context' mode highlights lines of interest and their context
in a diff-like style.

'org' mode generates a report in the Org mode format of Emacs.

Three semantic patches, with a low rate of false positives, are also
included. Other semantic patches will be provided later. Note that a
semantic patch does not need to define all four modes. As many semantic
patches may be proposed later, they are organized under sub-directories
of 'scripts/coccinelle/'.

We add a reference to the tool in the proposed changelog because it will
make the changelog easier to understand for someone who is not aware of
the tool.

To apply a single semantic patch, the user can define the COCCI environment
variable which gives the path to the semantic patch.
