Contributions to make it easier to use smatch with generic projects

Open chrissamuel opened this issue 5 months ago • 2 comments

Hi there,

I was very interested to read about smatch on LWN and as I work in HPC I was curious to trial it on Slurm, the batch scheduler that a lot of sites (including everywhere I've worked since 2010) use. It took a little bit to figure out how to make it work well with it so I thought I'd try and give back by putting in two fairly trivial changes to help others out.

Thanks for smatch!

All the best, Chris

Thanks for merging those two! I've just added a third so smatch emits full paths to source files as code bases might have files with the same name in different directories.

Thanks for taking that change, I've just done another to suppress some Perl errors for generic projects where the files they try to open don't exist.
