Probably the simplest solution is to make the said tool recognise a line like...
#pragma KandR
...and have it abort any file where it finds that line with some sort of warning, perhaps along the lines of...
SanityCheck: Found K&R pragma, ignoring kernel/foobar.c
...or something similar. It would then be simply a case of adding the said line near the top of whichever source files are still in K&R format.
Best wishes from Riley. --- * Nothing as pretty as a smile, nothing as ugly as a frown.
