From fb2d2c1b5825503d30fb6f2dc328dbe4a47d9794 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Whitcroft Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2010 14:23:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: ensure we do not collapse bracketed sections into constants When determining if a return () sequence is a function style bracketing we simplify the expression one bracket at a time replacing each with a constant. However this can trigger a false merge with expressions as below: return (foo)0; Prevent this false merging.
