[PATCH] checkpatch: Add some --strict coding style checks

From: Joe Perches
Date: Tue Feb 21 2012 - 15:59:28 EST


Argument alignment across multiple lines should
match the open parenthesis.

Logical continuations should be at the end of
the previous line, not the start of a new line.

These are not required by CodingStyle so make the
tests active only when using --strict.

Tested with:
int foo(void)
{
if (foo &&
bar())
baz();

if (foo &&
bar())
baz();

foo_some_long_function(bar,
baz);

foo_some_long_function(bar,
baz);

return 0;
}
