From 6b8c69e4384b0bcf1936c2137804840212daaf69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Geyslan G. Bem" Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2016 14:58:09 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: fix another left brace warning This patch escapes a regex that uses left brace. Using checkpatch.pl with Perl 5.22.0 generates the warning: "Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex;" Comment from regcomp.c in Perl source: "Currently we don't warn when the lbrace is at the start of a construct. This catches it in the middle of a literal string, or when it's the first thing after something like "\b"." This works as a complement to 4e5d56bd ("checkpatch: fix left brace warning").
