Applied.

I subsequently simplified the patch case to contain the following:

- snprintf(BUF, SZ, FORMAT
+ sysfs_emit(BUF, FORMAT
,...);

This also works for the case where there are only three arguments.
It has the benefit that the change is recognized as a line replacement, so
no extra {} are added when the call is in an if branch.

Would you like to consider the application of the following SmPL code variant?

-snprintf
+sysfs_emit
(BUF,
- SZ,
FORMAT,
...
);

Are you going to integrate such a transformation approach?

No. I already pushed the commit for Linux v6.8, and I don't think the
change has any practical impact.

This is a pity.

I hope then that the change acceptance for the “beautification”
and refinement of SmPL code can grow for subsequent versions.



> and I don't think the change has any practical impact.

I got an other development view for further fine-tuning possibilities.

Great, that was what i want. But i didn't get the correct syntax. I wrote it wrongly:
- snprintf(BUF, SZ, FORMAT, ...);
+ sysfs_emit(BUF, SZ, FORMAT, ...);

I suggest to reconsider such a view together with the metavariable “STR”
which became obsolete in the discussed SmPL script.

Can you ever get into the mood to increase the granularity of
a source code change specification a bit more?
