| |
The command "make coccicheck C=1 CHECK=scripts/coccicheck" results in the error: ./scripts/coccicheck: line 65: -1: shift count out of range
This happens because every time the C variable is specified, the shell arguments need to be "shifted" in order to take only the last argument, which is the C file to test. These shell arguments mostly comprise flags that have been set in the Makefile. However, when coccicheck is specified in the make command as a rule, the number of shell arguments is zero, thus passing the invalid value -1 to the shift command, resulting in an error.
Modify coccicheck to print correct usage of make coccicheck so as to avoid the error.
