You should allow for changes that are "formatting change only", with no actual code structural change. You could pass the results through stage 1 of gcc, and only allow it if the parsing tree is identical.
I was originally going to suggest just passing it through "indent", but that would not come out right, if someone added braces to clarify a one-line conditional. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
