Subject: scripts/checkpatch.pl : undefined value as an ARRAY reference

Hello Andy,

On -tip git I am getting this error:

$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl 000*
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at
./scripts/checkpatch.pl line 451.

But earlier it was working great. Is this a feature or a bug.

Thanks,

bug.

One for the akpm bucket i think, Andrew pushed v26 checkpatch to Linus
yesterday:

57b9c6d: checkpatch: version: 0.26
21caa13: checkpatch: fix the perlcritic errors
2b6db5c: checkpatch: struct file_operations should normally be const
b53c8e1: checkpatch: ensure we actually detect if assignments split across lines
2d1bafd: checkpatch: do not report nr_static as a static declaration
4635f4f: checkpatch: track #ifdef/#else/#endif when tracking blocks
8b1b337: checkpatch: fix continuation detection when handling spacing on operators
8054576: checkpatch: loosen spacing on typedef function checks
080ba92: checkpatch: try to catch missing VMLINUX_SYMBOL() in vmlinux.lds.h
86f9d05: checkpatch: allow parentheses on return for comparisons
1e85572: checkpatch: Add warning for p0-patches
2a5a2c2: checkpatch: update copyrights
50a7dcf: checkpatch: version: 0.25
6586386: checkpatch: dissallow spaces between stars in pointer types
fae17da: checkpatch: comment ends inside strings is most likely not an open comment
8e761b0: checkpatch: detect multiple bitfield declarations
5fe3af1: checkpatch: __weak is an official attribute
383099f: checkpatch: structure member assignments are not complex
83242e0: checkpatch: widen implied comment detection to allow multiple stars
721c1cb: checkpatch: comment detection may miss an implied comment on the last hunk
691d77b6: checkpatch: add checks for in_atomic()

one of those is causing this new warning.

That looks wrong indeed. Assuming that is the same version I have here
then that is a bug in the #else preprocessor handling. Could you send
me the specific patch which is throwing this error.

Thanks.
