Are you disagreeing with the numbers Ingo posted? 25,000 false positives for the kernel is beyond silly... Existing conventions should matter a lot and the default configuration for a static code checker should really be 100%. So why not hide the potentially useful warnings under -Wtoo-strict or similar command line option? - 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/
