Avoid proclaiming inline comments like: int a = b; /* some comment */ and block comments like: /********************* * some comment ********************/ are defective. Tested with $ cat drivers/net/t.c /* foo */ /* * foo */ /* foo */ /* foo * bar */ /**************************** * some long block comment ***************************/ struct foo { int bar; /* another test */ }; $ Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Reported-by: Larry Finger Cc: David Miller Cc: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
