The code fragment below
int foo(int *array, int index)
{
return array[index & 0xFF];
}
triggers an incorrect camelcase detection by checking a subset of
the hex constant:
CHECK: Avoid CamelCase: <xFF>
#3: FILE: test.c:3:
+ return array[index & 0xFF];
This is caused by passing the whole string "array[index & 0xFF]"
to the inner loop that iterates over a "$Ident" match.
With no check to exclude a constant, the match iterates over
"array", "index" and "xFF", thus the camelcase detection.
Similar issue can be detected with other constants like "1uL",
"0xffffU".
Force the match to start at word boundary so the constants will be
filtered-out.

The thing there is that 0xFF is not an $Ident as it doesn't
start with _[A-Za-z] so it's not excluding constants per-se.
So, you've added the right code, but just not quite the best
commit message.

Anyway, thanks and cheers, Joe

The code fragment below
int foo(int *array, int index)
{
return array[index & 0xFF];
}
triggers an incorrect camelcase detection by checking a substring
of the hex constant:
CHECK: Avoid CamelCase: <xFF>
#3: FILE: test.c:3:
+ return array[index & 0xFF];
This is caused by passing the whole string "array[index & 0xFF]"
to the inner loop that iterates over a "$Ident" match.
The numeric constant is not a $Ident as it doesn't start with
[A-Za-z_] and should be excluded from the match.
Similar issue can be detected with other constants like "1uL",
"0xffffU".
Force the match to start at word boundary so the $Ident will be
properly checked starting from its first char and the constants
will be filtered-out.

Well, already one year has passed from v1, but anyway here is v2.
Joe,
I have modified the commit message, hope it fully matches your
review.
v1 -> v2:
fix description in commit message
rebase on v5.19-rc2
