I noticed that many (most) of the libvirt syntax-check rules were not generating any results, despite me introducing obvious violations.
From my debugging the problem appears to be caused by this commit:

maint.mk: add per-line exclusions to prohibitions
If I revert the following hunk from maint.mk
@@ -258,6 +268,7 @@ define _sc_search_regexp if test -n "$$files"; then \ if test -n "$$prohibit"; then \ grep $$with_grep_options $(_ignore_case) -nE "$$prohibit" $$files \ + | grep -vE "$${exclude-^$$}" \ && { msg="$$halt" $(_sc_say_and_exit) } || :; \ else \ grep $$with_grep_options $(_ignore_case) -LE "$$require" $$files \
then the syntax-check rules work again. It seems that this grep is broken, if a test leaves $exclude undefined, causing it to filter out all results.
I think I figured out why, but I'm still working out how to fix it. cfg.mk is included _before_ maint.mk. Therefore, $_sc_search_regexp) is expanded in cfg.mk prior to the place where maint.mk provides a default definition for $(exclude), so we are getting the wrong thing expanded, which breaks the syntax check rule in cfg.mk. I'll get something working, hopefully later today. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
