Subject: [Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH v7 0/2] checkpatch: add verbose mode
Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2021 13:22:03 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210222075205.19834-1-dwaipayanray1@gmail.com> (raw)
Add a new verbose mode to checkpatch. The verbose test
descriptions are read from the checkpatch documentation
file at `Documentation/dev-tools/checkpatch.rst`.
The verbose mode is optional and can be enabled by the
flag -v or --verbose.
The documentation file is only parsed by checkpatch.pl
if the verbose mode is enabled. The verbose mode can
not be used together with the --terse option.
Changes in v7:
- Add color coding support to --list-types option
Changes in v6:
- Allow using verbose mode with --list-types option
Changes in v5:
- Change the reference format to use absolute links.
- Print verbose descriptions only for the first time
a message type is encountered.
Changes in v4:
- Change the type description format
- Group the message types by usage
- Make handling of --terse with --verbose simpler
Changes in v3:
- Simplify documentation file parsing in checkpatch
- Document a total of 33 message types for checkpatch
Changes in v2:
- Use .rst Field Lists to specify the type descriptions.
- Add a few more type descriptions to documentation.
