Hello.

I think these are bugs.

Regards.
-----

Bug 1:
assignment in 'if' is not warned if '\n' is inserted before the assignment.

# cat /tmp/test1.c
void foo(void)
{
int i = 0;
if (0 ||
(i = 0) != 0)
return;
}
# /usr/src/vanilla/linux-2.6.27.3/scripts/checkpatch.pl --file /tmp/test1.c
total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 7 lines checked

/tmp/test1.c has no obvious style problems and is ready for submission.
# ./scripts/checkpatch.pl-testing --strict --file /tmp/test1.c
total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 checks, 7 lines checked

/tmp/test1.c has no obvious style problems and is ready for submission.



Bug 2:
'while' placed after 'if { }' block is not handled properly.

# cat /tmp/test2.c
int i;
void foo(void)
{
if (!i) {
i++;
return;
}
while (i);
}
# /usr/src/vanilla/linux-2.6.27.3/scripts/checkpatch.pl --file /tmp/test2.c
ERROR: trailing statements should be on next line
#8: FILE: tmp/test2.c:8:
+ while (i);

ERROR: while should follow close brace '}'
#8: FILE: tmp/test2.c:8:
+ }
+ while (i);

total: 2 errors, 0 warnings, 9 lines checked

/tmp/test2.c has style problems, please review. If any of these errors
are false positives report them to the maintainer, see
CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
