Markus, if something doesn't work, just say so, OK?
Don't go all obtuse on us.

I don't grok that.


@Jon, Julia-
I plan to submit a v3 without the addition of "path/to/file.c" in 2 places.


However, I thought that this:
To apply Coccinelle on a file basis, instead of a directory basis, the
following command may be used::

make C=1 CHECK="scripts/coccicheck"

meant that someone could run coccicheck on one source file, but I cannot
get that to work.

Julia, Markus- can you tell me how to run coccicheck on one source file?


Thanks.
