From 65863862ba112bf4d06d5ebc142b9d746d1ee955 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Whitcroft Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 14:41:21 -0800 Subject: checkpatch: dissallow spaces between stars in pointer types Disallow spaces within multiple pointer stars (*) in both casts and definitions. Both of these would now be reported: (char * *) char * *foo; Also now consistently detects and reports the attributes within these structures making the error report itself clearer.
