From de323f22a83b024b7432e813609c6efb74b1bbfc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "akpm@linux-foundation.org" Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2010 13:51:13 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] headers_check: better search for functions in headers Some headers don't bother with "extern" in function prototypes, which results in said prototypes being unnoticed and exported to userland. This patch slightly improves detection of such cases by checking for C type names as well in the beginning of a line.
