wine style checker.

[Oliver Stieber]

Hi,
  I've noticed that Alexander has fixed a few
compatibility problems in the patches I've been
sending in, like moving #directives to the beginning
on the line, removing the odd C++ style comment and
moving declarations to the top of a function/ code
block.

  Does anyone have or know of something that can check
my code before I send it to wine patches?

I've egreped out all the #directives's already.

Heya,

It's basically old-style C conformance + a few random bits for non-GNU
compilers. In short:

1) No C++ style comments
2) No inline variable declarations (in the middle of a block)
3) Can't use L"" string syntax
4) No space between # and directive

Hmm, a few others that I am probably forgetting. There aren't that many
rules.

You might want to jump on #winehackers if you haven't already, we can
answer your questions faster there.

Actually it's 'No space before # for preprocessor directives'.
Spaces between the '#' and the directive are ok.

In theory, theory and practice are the same, but in practice they're different.
