...to search for functions which have been banned from our code base,
because they're too easy to misuse, and even if used correctly,
complicate audits, cause inconsistencies and/or make static analysis
harder.
This makes the code a bit more readable IMHO (and forces us to be
consistent with event handler function names).
Adjust scripts/checkpatch.pl to not complain.
Coding style specific changes include:
- Accept pango, glib and libxml2 CamelCase variables
- Remove "need consistent spacing around '*'" warning
- Do not warn about "structs that should be const"
- Do not warn on braces {} around single statements
- Do not warn about braces {} for single statement blocks
- Do not warn about wanting { on previous line for functions
- Remove check for missing blank line after declaration
- Ignore SPLIT_STRING COMPLEX_MACRO PREFER_KERNEL_TYPES
LOGICAL_CONTINUATIONS PARENTHESIS_ALIGNMENT OPEN_ENDED_LINE
MACRO_ARG_REUSE PREFER_FALLTHROUGH ARRAY_SIZE INITIALISED_STATIC
Other changes include:
- Do not complain about missing spelling.txt
