From 189248d8f4f3ac2fba30da9b40133b5891df95fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 15:54:47 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: check for if's with unnecessary parentheses If statements don't need multiple parentheses around tested comparisons like "if ((foo == bar))". An == comparison maybe a sign of an intended assignment, so emit a slightly different message if so.
