[XEN PATCH v2] docs/misra: add asm-offset.c to exclude-list
Posted by Nicola Vetrini 9 months ago
These files contain several deliberate violations of MISRA C rules and
they are not linked in the final Xen binary, therefore they can be exempted
from MISRA compliance.

No functional change.

Hi,

Replying on the v2 as well.

I'd like the commit message to be expanded a little bit to explain which 
MISRA rules are a problem. This helped me to understand why we excluded 
rather than fixed.

Base on the previous discussion, I would suggest:

These files contain several deliberate violation of MISRA C rules such as:
   * R20.12 on Arm for macros DEFINE and OFFSET, where the second 
argument of OFFSET is a macro and is used as a normal parameter and a 
stringification operand.
   * R2.1 because the file is not linked That said it was decided to 
deviate the rule itselfed to deviate that aspect).

The files are also not linked in the final Xen binary, therefore they 
can be expempted from MISRA compliance.

I am happy to take care of both the commit message and the indentation 
on commit.

And answering here despite the respective question was raised on the
v1 thread: I'm certainly okay with the more detailed commit message.
A few nits, though:

Is this really for Arm only?

There look to be punctuation issues here. Also s/itselfed/itself/, and
the duplicate "deviate" is also a little odd to read (maybe "deal with"
or "address" in place of the 2nd instance).

Looks to duplicate what the latter half of the 2nd bullet point has.
If to be kept: s/expempted/exempted/.

Ah yes. Sorry, I replied to v1 first and then realized it may have been 
easier to comment on v2.

I don't exactly know. I took Nicola's comment and massage it for the 
commit message. I am assuming that this was also not exhaustive list, so 
my aim was to only provide some example.

Thinking of it, I don't see why it would only be a problem on Arm. I can 
drop the "on Arm".

Doh, indeed. This wants to be:

"R2.1 because the file is not linked. That said, it was decided to 
deviate the ruule itself to address that aspect."

Yes, indeed. I mentioned the first two examples that I remembered.

My bad, I missed it in the output. Please drop the "on Arm" part.
